@crossmansusanna Hello, we are hoping to get the website live in June. Thank you for your interest!

@silverpebble Yes I understand that. But I think you’ve done a fantastic job in bringing that research to a wider audience, and it is really helpful.

@michelevbarrett I’m not the first to link the two by a loooong way and I didn’t do any of the science, though I’d love to at some point. I’ve brought certain strands of the research together to clarify the picture but others have done that too.

@silverpebble I think the link you’ve stressed between brain chemistry and nature is very important. You’ve brought it to a wide audience. So well done you!

@michelevbarrett Kind. Not incredible, just trying to change things & speak openly after so long being ashamed.

@DavidOlusoga @UplandsTV @DavidLammy Yes, very encouraging. Thank you for your work on it!

Impressive change of tone at the CWGC after our @UplandsTV documentary The Unremembered revealed scandalous historic failures to recognise the service and suffering of non-white soldiers and auxiliaries. @DavidLammy @michelevbarrett

@BarrettsBooks @61Suisse @DavidOlusoga @channelfour @DavidLammy I think also it’s important that the new historian, Dr George Hay, @record_this, and his assistant Dr John Burke, have done brilliant work researching and compiling the report of the committee. So it is a new regime at the CWGC now.

@61Suisse @DavidOlusoga @channelfour @michelevbarrett @DavidLammy This! For what it’s worth, the fallout from the documentary led to the old head of the CWGC leaving her position and the new one does genuinely seem keen to make amends. So hopefully a new team there will make a big difference going forward.

My article on the documentary we made for @ChannelFour with @michelevbarrett and @DavidLammy theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@LLocock @DavidOlusoga @UplandsTV @Channel4 @DavidLammy Thanks! Initially they wouldn’t invite me but later changed their mind and I have been on the committee.

The power of TV documentary. As the report itself says a 'catalyst' for these admissions was our @UplandsTV documentary for @Channel4 presented by @DavidLammy and based on the pioneering research of @michelevbarrett theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/a…

I'm very proud do say this shocking report came about because of our @UplandsTV documentary The Unremembered. Made for @Channel4 presented by @DavidLammy and based on the brave research of Prof Michele Barrett. theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/a…

If the Black Lives Matter protests have inspired you to learn about Britain's colonial history, Unremembered is now available on All4. I examine the fate of African soldiers who fought for Britain in WWI. channel4.com/programmes/unr…

@OlivetteOtele It’s a camellia.
