Sarah Montague asks playwright Kwame Kwei–Armah about the legacy of slavery.

Why is it that so many young black men in Britain think that criminality is cool? It's a question that keeps being raised by Kwame Kwei-Armah, an actor, playwright and director who has won a string of awards for his work portraying what it's like to be black in Britain. Sarah Montague asks the playwright if the answer really lies with a lack of role models and the legacy of slavery.
