Sitting In Limbo inspired by the Windrush ScandalInspired by a shocking story from the Windrush Scandal. After 50 years in the UK, Anthony McKay-Williams is wrongfully detained by the Home Office and threatened with deportationPremieres Monday 08 June 2020 8.30pm BSTOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY BBC One Introduction by Andy Harries, Executive Producer, Left Bank Pictures In making Sitting In Limbo we wanted to make a powerful film that addressed one of the greatest political scandals of recent years - Windrush - but which also explored the personal impact it had on many thousands of real people. Stephen’s script shines a light on a great social injustice, but also examines the devastating effect it had on his own family. The emotional impact of the drama is heightened because he is writing from the perspective of witnessing his own brother’s treatment. This adds a personal resonance to a political story, and makes it all the more shocking. I hope that people from all walks of life watch this drama and understand more fully how political decisions can have a profoundly personal effect.
