Soon Gone: A Windrush Chronicle

Douglas Road Productions for BBC Four

The eight 15-minute monologues that make up Soon Gone: A Windrush Chronicle look at what happened after the arrival of the Windrush generation in 1948 and challenge our collective understanding of what it means to be part of the African-Caribbean community in modern-day Britain.

The self-contained multigenerational stories, linked by one family, and expressed by eight of the very best and emerging Caribbean writers together explore the experience of migration, with each generation examining their identity in a country that has been less than welcoming.
