Synopsis

In World War II, tens of thousands of men and women from the Caribbean colonies volunteered to fight against Hitler in Britain, risking everything for the King and the Empire. Their vital contribution has been largely overlooked. Now, some of the last surviving veterans share their remarkable wartime experiences – from perilous torpedo attacks by German U-boats and the RAF's bombing campaigns over Germany, to the culture shock of Britain’s cold climate and war-damaged cities. This brave sacrifice presented these Caribbean pioneers with a lasting struggle for equal treatment from the British government and the British public. Using powerful firsthand accounts, documentary footage, and rare archival material, this program offers a fresh look at World War II and 20th-century British history.
