🚨Trigger warning: This video contains distressing footage of restraint. The moment Yves Sakila, a 35-year-old Congolese man, was restrained in Dublin by several men for a number of minutes before becoming unresponsive and later dying. His family are now calling for justice.

After Vanderbilt had his British passport denied in the 80s he had to move to St Lucia. But then in 2001 he was granted a UK passport for 6-months only. In order to extend it, he was asked to prove he was British by locating his Scottish grandad’s 129-year-old birth certificate

Richard Black was left stranded in Trinidad for 41 years after his UK citizenship was revoked - despite living in the UK since he was six. We went with him as he visited his mother's grave in London for the first time. He was refused travel documents to attend her funeral.

‘We didn’t come here to scrounge. We didn’t come here to beg. We came to contribute and contribute we did.’ The trailer for Part 2 of Hetticia and Vanderbilt’s half a decade battle for Windrush compensation.
