Remember the Ugandan Asians

Twenty-five years ago the Ugandan Asians arrived in Britain, having been expelled from their own country.

Now one of the most successful communities in Britain, Uganda has asked them to return. With interviews, propaganda footage and news archive, Timewatch explores the emotional history of the Ugandan Asians and examines how they feel about Britain and the home they left behind.
