An older Black man wearing a trilby, brown suit and yellow waistcoat hugs a smiling Black woman with his right hand. She is wearing a black coat and a pink hat. They are standing in a train station, the word Loughborough Central visible on a blue and white sign behind them.

About Milestone: Streets Paved With Gold + Q&A

Milestone: Streets Paved with Gold is a powerful new film honouring the Windrush generation and the Caribbean migration experience in Britain.

Adapted from Victor Richards’ acclaimed one-man play, this 60-minute cinematic journey follows Augustus Cleveland Johnson from his 1948 arrival in England through decades of resilience, family, culture, and identity. Blending voiceover, vivid recreations, and historical archives, the film immerses viewers in a heartfelt tribute to a generation that helped shape modern Britain. Filmed across Leicester and the Midlands, it's a moving celebration of Caribbean-British heritage.

The screening will be followed by a live onstage Q&A with Victor Richards, Bishop Dr. Desmond Jaddoo MBE and others TBC.
