She needed to apply for her citizenship. But she was never told. So she thought she was ok until it was almost too late all because when she was first there it wasn't required. That's why Jamaicans need to keep up with the laws of a land, even in jamaica so they don't strip u of your rights and you don't know.

zion but that’s the law since the 1940s.. I even went out of my way to look it up myself.. if there was an amendment to that law since then, my bad, but that’s what the British Nationality Act says.. anyone born within the UK and it’s colonies are subjects of Britain.. The racism is a result of ignorance of those laws..

Tarek Jabal If Africa was for Africans, then why is the world and it’s dog still crippling the continent of Africa with untenable IMF debts and the continued exploitation of the natural resources of the rich African soil? Just admit it, Africa has been disadvantaged at The West’s hand, who as a whole, lacked natural resources and man power. Furthermore the Chinese now also have a vested interest in any country where there is an African diaspora. Colonialism and Empire at the disadvantage of others is about the inherent greed of humans. We need to address the issue of injustice throughout the world and identify that without Africa and the other colonies, there would be No ‘Great’ in Great Britain. History dictates that Britain has suffered from a lack of resources and in post war Britain, a lack of workforce, hence the need for its ex colonies (immigration). FYI the Moors of Africa were in Britain for many hundreds of years and the Roman Emperor, Septimius Severus, who rebuilt Hadrians Wall, was of African origin. Know Your History!

Just like that bredda

This is heartbraking, how dare the British government treat this lady like that! How dare they, they should be ashamed and appalled of their Colonial history that they should be doing everything they can to ensure the Windrush community are living comfortably. Instead they segregate and cause immense pain to beautiful families who volunteer and pay taxes for 36 years. When are the British government going to stop causing suffering to former colonies.

Oh boy, I understood 10% of that. Surinamese culture is very diverse and dynamic, and has strong Asian, African and European influences. The population is mainly composed of the contribution of people from the Netherlands, India, Africa, China and Indonesia, as well as indigenous peoples who lived in the area, before the arrival of European settlers.

She’s still a beautiful soul after all that she went through.

RIP to this selfless, dedicated campaigner. Devoting her time to helping other people stay in THEIR OWN country. Taken far too young, aged 64!🙏The fight doesnt stop, we must get compensation to ALL Windrush victims!

This film made me cry this hard... I'm extremely interested in this particular part of UK/Jamaican history, Windrush generation and everything that followed the first ship arrival. For many years I feel, see and hear what a huge impact jamaicans made on UK and entire world tbh, especially musical scene and culture as a whole. I would be extremely happy if someone can recommend me any decent books and films to read and watch. I live in Russia for my whole life, but Jamaicans and British gave me much more than my own country and influenced me so much I don't even know how to give thanks to you both. Take care of each other, I suppose that you don't even understand what you together did for this planet. Thank you!

I literally shed tears watching this video. Every time that man talked about how they shipped us out from Africa and treated us so badly. It was like a hammer blow to my heart. This is such an emotional documentary. Thank you Guardian for exposing the shame of Britain.

Oh, this made me cry. It hurts to know what we went through over hundreds of years, only to be criminalized for existing. Taken when we could be used for profit and discarded when no longer deemed profitable. Then and now. It was no coincidence that the targets were those who were no longer paying taxes and would be receiving benefits as pensioners. This was no mistake. Disgusting.

This is the most touching documentary I had ever Watched. Living in a Country where you have no directions, no one to come to your aids when you have none. You are completely isolated from the rest of the World. This is lessons for every black/African living in the diaspora to know that there is no where like home. You will always be treated equal among your own people, no matters how difficult. Many Black/African thinks being in the West is all butter and bread but that's not the case. Many left stranded and no where or no one to turn to. At the end most people rather gave up and end up drugs addicts or even homeless. To me, life is where people treats you equally in every aspect of life. Such as equality in the Workplace, Education, Socialism, helps when one needed, love by other even if they don't belong to your family and etc. You cannot live the place where they don't want you there and end up going through all sorts of oppressions like this Woman.

Here I am in my dorm room in China, crying because of her story. Then while in Jamaica she drives into the community where I have lived for 18 years, where my parents still live and its the first time I am hearing her story. It really is a "small world".

It made me cry, remember last year when I went to Haïti for the 1st time at 40 yrs young, after being adoted as a baby. The feeling was amazing ! It really felt like home... It was home, I was so proud. Super hard to describe that was overwhelming. It felt like I really belong somewhere.

Oh Sister...I held up until you said, “Mommy I’m here.” Bawling like I just got slapped!

Thank you to the Guardian for sharing a glimpse of Paulette’s story. I have a soft spot for all elderly Caribbean women as they remind me so much of my deceased Jamaican grandmother. The accent, the patois, the facial features. I love it all. Paulette, you are a strong, beautiful, agile, inspiring woman. Thank you. I see myself reflected in these women and in the island and people of Jamaica. Born and raised in the US, I am appreciative of reminders and connectors to my heritage. Much love.

So glad her daughter challenged the Gov't!

She gone for 50 years, and yet still people still remember her face, they still hug her up like family that live close by, they treat her and talk to her like no time has passed...the Jamaican country spirit is awesome.

They did the same to me, I went to school in the U.K. My father was In the British Army, I was in the T.A. and worked at Heathrow for ten years, Lived there since 1970. When I went to renew my Passport , I could not prove I was British as my Birth Certificate did not have my fathers name on it. I have two sisters still in the U.K. and family in London and yet I was an Illegal Immigrant, I now live in Cyprus.

My grandparents came at the same time as Paulette did, though they were older at the time. My grandma passed a few weeks ago from complications with Covid-19. She never got to go back home, but she was happy in the UK she was proud to be British. Watching this reminds me of her so much, and it was nice to see a place that might have been like her hometown.
