Painful reminder

This is a painful reminder of what the Windrush generation experienced. The sad thing about this series is it wasn't based on fiction. The acting was actually brilliant, the story line was interesting and gripping. The sad thing about it is elements of this film still exist today.

Two sisters Leah and Chantrelle and their acquaintance Hosanna catch a steamboat from Saint Ann Parish in Jamaica to the United Kingdom, arriving in London's Notting Hill before moving to the Midlands.

In December 2020, it was announced ITV had commissioned Three Little Birds from Lenny Henry, who would write and executive produce the six-part fictionalisation of his mother Winifred's stories. Russell T Davies was attached to the project as a script consultant and executive producer. Also set to executive produce were Angela Ferreira of Douglas Road Productions, Lucy Bedford of Tiger Aspect Productions, and Diederick Santer of BritBox International

Can't wait for the next series.
