Windrush: A New Generation (1998)

The third of four documentaries charting the influence on British life since 1948 of black people with Caribbean origins. In the seventies, the children of the early West Indian migrants faced a paradox. While their music - spearheaded by reggae superstar Bob Marley - and lifestyle became integral to British popular culture, the schooling system, which failed to recognise their abilities, exacerbated the alienation.

The streets of Notting Hill in west London became a breeding ground for racial tension, while the National Front stirred up further ill feeling. In 1981, a tragedy in south-east London's New Cross and a subsequent protest focused the country's attention on race relations.
