Good movie but if you are not watching the whole movie at one time, remember what chaper you were in when you stopped watching. The movie starts from the beginning every time you quit watching it.
A very very excellent show....my parents met during the war...my father black my mother white. They never told us what they went through in Scotland or England...but no matter what they pulled through it and never looked back.

Story within a story, and an honest revelation of how the Brits treated their supposed compatriots. Racism towards Blacks on the other side of the Pond. Worth the view.
