Njambi McGrath details her experience of living as an immigrant and black woman in the UK, where the legacy of colonialism casts a long shadow. She also offers a unique perspective and critique of current policies around freedom of movement, and of human rights records.

Originally from Kenya but living in London with her white husband and British children for over a decade, Njambi finds herself quite literally in bed with her coloniser!

This series she compares her grandmother’s life under imperialist Britain, with the rise of Nazism and fascism, to her own political climate... with Nazism, and fascism once again on the rise.
