A series of highly personal films
Dom Moraes, poet and journalist, examines his situation as a coloured Englishman who suddenly feels he is an immigrant
"On April 20, 1968, Enoch Powell made his notorious speech in Birmingham on race relations. It suddenly seemed that he was expressing the feeling of the man in the street in England. It seemed to me that the whole of my life here must be based on a false premise..."
Dom Moraes looks back over his own life - his childhood in India; his time at Oxford; his literary success, winning the Hawthornden Prize for his poetry at the age of twenty; his marriage into an English county family - and then goes to Bradford to see to what extent he can identify with ordinary immigrants.

Starring James Stewart, Jean Arthur
Frank Capra's biting social comedy about a newly elected tame Senator who suddenly decides that he is not prepared to take orders from his sponsors.
This film, in similar vein to Capra's previous benevolent social comedy Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, sees James Stewart in another of his typical slow-speaking honest-young-man roles.
