Inspired by his mother and all those who braved the leap to Britain in search of a new life, Henry has written a "spirited, moving, funny and utterly heartfelt" series that celebrates immigration, community and Black womanhood.
Opening in 1957, the clip introduces Rochelle Neil's Leah and Saffron Coomber's Chantrelle, two gregarious sisters who are seen persuading Yazmin Belo's Hosanna to join them in emigrating from Jamaica to Britain.
