Filmed at a variety of locations in Birmingham, The Colony was remarkable for its time in giving a voice to working-class settlers from the Carribean. The film uses no narration or commentary, allowing its participants - including a railwayman from St Kitts, a bus conductor from Jamaica, a family of singers from Trinidad and a nurse from Barbados - to speak intelligently and articulately about their experiences of Britain.
