Event overview
a moving film about race relations in Britain during and after the Second World War
'Divided by Race, United in War and Peace,' produced by Marc Wadsworth, editor of the-latest.com, is a moving film about race relations in Britain during and after the Second World War. It exposes the sometimes painful evolution of a multicultural society from the unique vantage point of black and white veterans. At its core are the candid testimonies of 14 of these hidden heroes, particularly those West Indian and African men and women who volunteered for the war effort, and who returned to live in Britain after the conflict. They risked their lives to serve under the flag in times of war, then faced a second battle ? their right to remain under that flag, as British citizens. This is not only a story about a global conflict, but also a factual, informative and powerful account of the last surviving veterans. It documents their abiding humanity, in the most brutal of circumstances, and even touching romance.
The documentary is 60 minutes long and will be followed by Q & A session with the producer
