Half Breed

BBC Four - Lights Up, Half Breed

Semi-autobiographical, coming-of-age drama about finding your voice.

Coming-of-age drama. A young woman from a small village has a burning desire to escape its small-minded atmosphere and move to the city to become an actress. 

A new drama written by Natasha Marshall adapted from the play of the same name. It is a semi-autobiographical, coming-of-age drama about finding your voice.

Half Breed tells the story of Jazmin, a young woman who lives in a small village in the west country, with a burning desire to escape its small-minded atmosphere and move to the city to become an actress. 

Jazmin is the only mixed-race woman in her village and experiences racism on a regular basis, normalised by her friendship group. By confronting the bullies, she breaks free of the claustrophobic atmosphere of her home town.

Knowledge, arts, music and culture from the UK and the world.

BBC Four reflects arts, music and culture with an ambitious range of intellectually and culturally enriching programmes, taking an expert and in-depth approach to its subjects.
