You may have seen the film ‘Standing firm – football’s Windrush story’ when it was first broadcast on BT Sport or when it was repeated.
Presented by the brilliant Benjamin Zephaniah it has so much to say about subjects we are passionate about.
Standing Firm: Football’s Windrush Story is a 90-minute history lesson as damning and necessary as David Olusoga’s book ‘Black and British’, tracing a mazy run through black experience since the Windrush docked at Tilbury in June 1948.

We urge you to watch it and, if you enjoy it, please tell everyone you know about it (and people you don’t!). No spoilers, you really should just watch it:
An important film, not just for Black History Month but every day of the year, well done to BT Sport for airing it and congratulations to all those involved in making it.
