Marking the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the HMT Empire Windrush to British shores in 1948, this documentary follows a remarkable project spearheaded by His Majesty King Charles III, who has commissioned ten leading artists, from Britain and abroad, to create portraits of ten pioneering members of the Windrush Generation.

The completed portraits will become part of the Royal Collection and stand as a lasting memorial to all the men, women and children who came to Britain from the Caribbean and gave so much of themselves to rebuild a nation devastated by war.

Audiences will hear first-person testimony from the Windrush sitters, many of whom are in their 90s, as they speak frankly about their experiences of arriving in Britain, making lives for themselves and the overwhelming contribution they have made to their communities and the nation as a whole.

The film also follows the making of the portraits, as artist and sitter come together, with the artists reflecting on their own experience of undertaking this special commission, as well as offering insights into their own unique creative approach, culminating in an unveiling event in the presence of Their Majesties The King and Queen at Buckingham Palace.
