Summary

Humans migrate; they imagine. Under a starlit sky they dream of new opportunities, new horizons and the unknown. Through a series of original interviews and specially commissioned photography England Our England tells the personal stories of the black and Asian pioneers who crossed the waters to make Britain their home.

Rich portraits and moving personal accounts show how they dealt bravely with the shock of rejection and cold weather, the difficulties of finding work and making connections with the British, but also how their achievements ultimately transcended both their own expectations and those of the country in which they came to live, creating the multicultural society that we know today and rich legacy for future generations.
