Descendants looks into our lives and our pasts and asks how close is each of us to the legacy of British slavery? And, in turn, who does that mean our lives are connected to?
Narrated by Yrsa Daley-Ward, the poet and writer introduces us to a network of lives, each one connected in one way or another through the history of slavery.
Marcus is of Bajan descent, Rev Alison Waters is a vicar in rural Somerset, and Ruth is a middle class woman living in Bristol. Their lives today have all been impacted by the legacy of one of the biggest slave owners in British history - a man called Thomas Daniel.
Producers: Polly Weston, Candace Wilson, Rema Mukena
