Description
This is the story of how film captured the emergence of Britain's Asian communities. We start in the 1950s, when people from the Commonwealth were encouraged to come to Britain. Social change was r...ecorded - by chance - when a Bradford mill owner hired commercial photographers to record working conditions in a textile factory. The newcomers were labelled as Asian immigrants, but they came from different countries, with different languages and different faiths.
