Episode 4

Exceptional figures from politics, business, sport, culture, religion and science share their insights into being black and British today, how they got where they are and their thoughts on what the future holds. Our cast of extraordinary black Britons are facing today and the future. Naomi Campbell, Dizzie 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. They talk mostly of their pride in being British and their love for the country as epitomised at the phenomenon of the 2012 London Olympics. They discuss the inspiring Obama effect and what that means to them, but are then 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.
