Race for Survival

Synopsis

Part of a continuing experiment in allowing young immigrants to put their own viewpoints by giving them access to the media. In this production, young unemployed West Indians living in London describe the hostile environment in which they live. As well as looking at the more negative aspects - bad housing, police harassment - they also show a Black Arts and Community Centre and a job creation scheme.
