The lived experience of true Brits.

We look at the modern legacy of Britain’s colonial past with five dramas, each set in a different part of the UK.

The Waves debunks our so-called ‘culture war’ by foregrounding the actual lived experience of young Britons of colour.

First broadcast on a network of 26 Community Radio Stations and now available as a Podcast.

In association with Tamasha and supported by the Audio Content Fund.
