Immigrants

Race relations in the west were fertile documentary subject matter in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Made for Swedish TV in the year of the first Race Relations Act, 10 years after the peak of postwar immigration, this film offers a fascinating insight into how issues around race were developing in mid-century Britain.

The film gives voice to the immigrants themselves, to their experiences and their feelings about their impact on English society. This is an extract from the documentary.
