The excellent drama series of the damage the Windrush Scandal did on people who believed they were legally as well as culturally British was brilliantly portrayed in this drama series based on the true story of Anthony Bryant (played by Patrick Robinson of 'Casualty' fame) and the three years he had to endure about a possible deportation to Jamaica, a country he hadn't been back to since he was eight years old because of an administrative oversight and the ill thought out policies of the government of Theresa May.
You might watch this documentary and think its far fetched, that it would be the actions of a repressive, fascist society and not modern Britain that would detain, try to deport and destroy purposely records of British people born abroad to prove their legality so they could deport them instead, this drama series highlights the many abuses the British government of the day put on these people and in many cases, were very successful in wrongly detaining and deporting innocent rightful, British citizens.
This is an important tome of this time and we should not forget that we have governments that abuse their powers to quench the thirst of populism and that innocent, law abiding citizens are victims of this cruel, short-sightedness. A great drama series, moving and well acted.
