Windrush: The Years After, A Community Legacy on Film explores the social and cultural history and contribution of people who came from the Caribbean to Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, from 1948 to 1972, as well as the first generation of British-born African-Caribbean descendants. The film shares their powerful, emotional stories of migration, determination, and cultural celebration.

It is a tribute to their resilience and aspirations as Huddersfield became home for themselves and successive generations. Windrush: The Years After is a not-for-profit film developed by a diverse team of various backgrounds, cultures and faiths. KLTV encourages using the film as an educational resource for schools, higher education institutions, and the general public.

KLTV would like to thank The University of Huddersfield, Heritage Lottery Fund, Microform Imaging ltd., and the Department for Transport for their significant contribution to the development of Windrush: The Years After, A Community Legacy on Film.

We would like to thank the steering group who worked hard and diligently to help create this production. Finally, want to thank Huddersfield’s Windrush elders, past and present, for their stoic and steadfast contributions to this unique piece of Black British social history.
