Churchill: Britain's Secret Apartheid (Channel 4)

BROADCAST

Award-winning presenter and novelist Nadifa Mohamed investigates an overlooked story from WWII when the US - despite joining the war to fight the nightmarish white supremacy of the Nazis - brought with them their own racial segregation and attempted to enforce it on British soil.  Using a mix of specially shot material, unseen archive and animation, the 60" single explores the riots, murders and miscarriages of justice that followed, and the ordinary Brits that defied the US army.

'A fascinating documentary about how the people of Britain reacted when US troops arrived during the second world war, bringing promises of freedom and, paradoxically, codified racism with their segregated army' The Guardian

'A moving finale' The Telegraph
