The Empire Strikes Black

The Empire Strikes Black – Radio production of 1 x 29 minute episode for BBC Radio 4. DW Multimedia provided extensive audio production, sound editing and final mix delivery for the Bath production company Reel Soul Movies and London based Cast Iron Productions.

Journalist Hugh Muir travels with Sir Simon Woolley, head of Operation Black Vote, to Buckingham Palace, where he is to receive his knighthood from HM The Queen. It’s a journey that lays bare the dilemma, the joy, the soul-searching and the agony of being honoured for services to the British Empire, for anyone whose family history is one of oppression, slavery or violence as a consequence of the Empire.
