The excellent drama series of the damage the Windrush Scandal did on people who believed they were legally as well as culturally British was brilliantly portrayed in this drama series based on the true story of Anthony Bryant (played by Patrick Robinson of 'Casualty' fame) and the three years he had to endure about a possible deportation to Jamaica, a country he hadn't been back to since he was eight years old because of an administrative oversight and the ill thought out policies of the government of Theresa May. You might watch this documentary and think its far fetched, that it would be the actions of a repressive, fascist society and not modern Britain that would detain, try to deport and destroy purposely records of British people born abroad to prove their legality so they could deport them instead, this drama series highlights the many abuses the British government of the day put on these people and in many cases, were very successful in wrongly detaining and deporting innocent rightful, British citizens. This is an important tome of this time and we should not forget that we have governments that abuse their powers to quench the thirst of populism and that innocent, law abiding citizens are victims of this cruel, short-sightedness. A great drama series, moving and well acted.

Deeply powerful true-life drama about just one of the people so egregiously treated during Britain's Windrush scandal. It's understated, and all the more moving for it - simmering with rage, you find yourself keeping tears at bay for almost the whole running time.

The other reviews here describe it all. This is an outrage that a man who came to UK when he was 8 would get treated like an illegal at the age of 58! What is wrong with the bureaucrats at UK immigration? Are they total idiots. This poor guy got placed in a detention centre like a prison, he loses his job. Immigration offered to 'repatriate' him back to Jamaica! Outrageous! A story of racism, prejudice & mistreatment. And he is not the only one who has been victimised by a department clearly being run by nasty characters with limited humanity or intelligence. A fine piece of drama to tell a story that will remain a record of truth. And this all happened only 3-4 years ago!

It is a "must make" film and as such it is important that it is made - that the word gets out there. And... importance can be synonymous with quality - but only to a certain level. Documentaries can, to a large extent, be valued more on the message they convey than their artistic merit. Sitting Limbo hovers between two genres; the informative and the artistic - as do many other "life story films". The genre is problematic as the end result is; either likely to be accused of diverging from facts under the "artistic licence" OR being true to history and respecting the facts to the point dullness. Sitting in Limbo certainly edges toward the documentary format - it, unfortunately has not hit the sweet spot in the middle ground. And so recommendations become dependent on preference of style: If you consider facts superior in importance to dramaturgy - chances are you will appreciate Stella Cor.radio's work. If, on the other hand, you value artistic accomplishments above facts - chances are you will feel Sitting in Limbo runs a little dry. There is one argument which would make the above redundant, that is; IF the pacing of the film was an artists attempt to lure the viewer into similar frustration as that of our protagonist. If the "why is nothing happening" frustration is actually part of a greater master plan. If so, the greatness is likely to be appreciated by few - but would motivate some very high scoring. In any event - be prepared to feel frustration.

One of the best dramas on TV recently. Patrick Robinson acts the main part very very well and is so convincing as Anthony Bryan. But the story is a very disturbing one that shames the British government. How they can have the tenacity to persecute commonwealth citizens who have moved to the UK and worked decades, paying Taxes and working and raising a family beggars belief. This program should be required viewing in schools, and maybe shown to all politicians.

Year 1948. Post-WWII era.. British government invited around 500+ workers from Jamaica to settle in UK to help rebuild their country. The first batch of those settlers embarked HMT Empire Windrush. Their offsprings are known as the Windrush generation in UK. In 2010, the Home office destroyed the landing cards of thousands of Windrush immigrants and in 2012, David Cameron's administration formed a committee called hostile environment working group that echoed a broader rancour towards migrants in the UK. As the local officers and managers kept hunting for 'low hanging fruit' (easy target), some 850 people were wrongly detained between 2012-17. And one of them was Anthony Bryan. This is his dramatic memoir of his ordeal. Patrick Robinson delivers a mature immaculate performance. An eye opening and thought provoking drama as often we turn a blind eye to the struggles and challenges that 'not legal' migrants face. As Amber Rudd, the Home Secretary who later resigned, apologized that this policy was a mistake and she said that she saw this only as an individual issue not as a systemic problem.. A must watch ..

In the incredibly bizarre and horrid years of Trump, Torries and the return of white supremacists, the far-right idiocracy, or beaurocracy- I always get them confused-, came up with a time and money saving scheme to "make the UK white again"! This half-baked plan had no regard for the massive, irreparable damage it caused to human beings: our brothers and sisters! This made-for-TV feature is based on the incomprehensible punishment an innocent man went through because of indifference, ignorance on the part of jailers, and blatant racism! A whole segment of a society that were used them when it was necessary for the elite, and discarded the next minute when their services no longer mattered! A harrowing look at an empire's heartless history and evil acts upon innocent citizens today! If this film does not make your blood boil, we are doomed! What goes around comes around, and the fall of empires are bookmarked by heartless acts such as those portrayed in this movie.
