'White Nanny Black Child' unearthed a crucial, untold chapter in 20th-century British history - the fostering of West African children by white British families between 1955 and 1995, a practice known as ‘farming’.

 

This powerful documentary brings to light the stories of adults who grew up in this system, often in silence, grappling with the lasting effects of this policy. Revealing the trauma, confusion, and resilience of those who were fostered during this time.
