"You never allow me tell my story. I been trying to tell it someone and nobody listenin'."

Charming, flawed, and with the gift of the gab, we all know a man like August Henderson. Between his three kids, devoted wife-to-be, and part-ownership of a fruit and veg shop, he is proud of the life he has built since landing in his beloved West Bromwich.

So, when faced with deportation to a country he has no memory of, he isn't prepared to go quietly. Listen up, he is ready to tell his own story.

August In England gives insight into the lives impacted by the injustice of the Windrush scandal.
