Windrush Part 3



This part of the documentary shows the Windrush bringing 500 Jamaicans over to Britain. When these Jamaicans arrived many of them were uncertain of jobs, where they were going to live and most of them did not know what they was going to do. So, even though a huge amount of them were desperate to come over to Britain as they believed the conditions would be better their survival was uncertain. These Jamaicans were placed in a shelter but as soon as they received work they had to leave. Britain needed labour and many Caribbeans were desperate for jobs so they in turn took them, It also seemed to me that the Caribbeans were indeed very significant to the British people as Enoch Powell went all the way to the Caribbean to find nurses. A large amount of these Caribbean citizens believed that England was such a beautiful country and place, however, what they saw on arriving there was totally different from what they initially thought.
