BBC Black Archives is a project for BBC Local Radio African and Caribbean programmes and has been developed in partnership with BBC Entertainment Manchester. The compilation of archive material in this screening is a fragment of the many hours of footage featuring African and Caribbean peoples that has been uncovered in a search of BBC TV film going back 70 years. These films have been rescued from boxes and shelves where some have lain for decades after only one broadcast. BBC Local Radio African and Caribbean programmes have reclaimed the footage and we have produced this 60-minute film and five radio features broadcast on BBC Local Radio.
Panel featuring:
• Elonka Soros – Editor
• Karen Gabay – Producer
• Caroline Julyan - Archive Producer
• Danny John Jules - Actor and Social Commentator
