BBC Two - Black Is the New Black, Episode 4

Our cast of extraordinary black Britons are facing today and the future.

Documentary series celebrating Britain's black community. In the final episode, our cast of extraordinary black Britons are facing today and the future.

In episode four, our cast of extraordinary black Britons are facing today and the future.

Naomi Campbell, Dizzee Rascal, David Harewood, Tinie Tempah, Trevor Nelson, Sir Trevor MacDonald and Alesha Dixon are amongst the stand-out stars of this film talking about where we have reached today on the Black-British journey. Our cast talk mostly of their pride in being British and their love for the country as epitomised at the phenomenon of the 2012 London Olympics, where black athletes wrapped themselves in the Union Jack and decades of racism seemed to be on the path to being put firmly in the past.

The contributors discuss how inspiring the Obama effect has been and what that means to them, but are then also brought back to reality by the saddening occurrence of Brexit. We forecast to the future of Black Britain and what that looks like for our younger cast, for our dual-heritage talent and for those whose children are the future of the country.
