Shaminder Nahal, Commissioning Editor at Channel 4 says, ‘What Empire means to us now is such a vital subject, and so hotly contested – but I don’t think anyone else is articulating how Empire has shaped pretty much everything about Britain now including – and most surprisingly – our state of mind, the way we think and feel about so much. We’re becoming increasingly polarised as a nation – does empire have something to do with it?’ It’s hardly a history series – Sathnam wants to drill down into empire to see if it’s at the root of so many recent divisive issues – BLM, Brexit, statues, even Covid. Henry Singer, executive producer at Sandpaper Films says, ‘We’re thrilled to be making this series with Sathnam. I can’t wait to attempt to navigate the fevered debate on Channel 4.’ It’s an issue that seems to exercise and enrage politicians, teachers, academics, pundits, think tanks, talk show hosts and students all over the nation. But publication of my book Empireland this year has taught me that there’s massive interest in the question of how colonialism influences us. Sathnam Sanghera, presenter says, ‘When I started thinking about this subject four years ago, the way imperialism has shaped modern Britain was an esoteric concern. He also will ask how Britain, at a moment of enormous cultural and political division, might be able to come to terms with its past without hiding from its most troubling episodes. Sathnam will explore what it means, as a child of immigrants, to live in the shadow of Empire. His starting point is his own family’s experiences, their memories of racist signs in shops and of the anti-immigrant local MP Enoch Powell in Wolverhampton when they arrived in 1968. Sathnam’s journey across the series isn’t just intellectual. Travelling across Britain and speaking to people from a variety of walks of life, Sathnam will look at the ways in which Empire is remembered and how this has created Britain’s culture and its politics. The 2×60 series, Empire & Me (w/t) will see writer and broadcaster Sathnam Sanghera go on a very personal journey to unearth the roots that bind his country to its colonial past.
