Remembering Windrush

Through the film, we invite pupils to find out about the Windrush story, encouraging them to delve into this pivotal chapter in history through the lens of four key sources. 

Partnering with The National Archives education department, we developed a script to distil this complex period into an engaging and easily understandable narrative.

The heart of our project lies in the power of inquiry. By asking questions, the video invites the audience to empathise with those emigrating to Britain and encourages them to consider how society has changed over time. 

Working with a limited selection of images and documents, we successfully created a fully animated seven-minute video, with bespoke sound design to bring the story to life. Click here to see the full film, and here to access the full National Archives learning materials.
