TNB Windrush 2023 | Burning An Illusion + Windrush Scandal Surgery

Newham Windrush 75 season in partnership with TNBFC brings you a screening, community conversation & legal advice over the Windrush Scandal!

Groundbreaking British feature exploring a black woman’s questions of racial identity, set amongst the Notting Hill and Ladbroke Grove areas of West London.

 

Pat Williams (Cassie McFarlane) has a decent job, a flat and looks forward to settling down with her boyfriend, Del (Victor Romero). Her life begins to spirals out of control however after Del loses his job and is arrested after getting into a fight. As Pat gradually starts to realise that she is simply following the aspirations of a white society, she becomes increasingly drawn into the exploration of her own African racial heritage.
