Synopsis:The raw nerve of continuing racism in otherwise salt-of-the-earth working-class communities in Newcastle is exposed in this autobiographical account of the plight of children of mixed race. The commentary is intoned in a distant, declamatory way and effectively counterpointed with sweet songs and nursery rhymes. No viewing copy available.
