Blending fact and fiction, Descendants follows the journey of a Jamaican father and his children as they leave rural Jamaica for post-war Britain. Against the backdrop of London’s bustling streets and unspoken prejudice, they navigate the struggle to build new lives while preserving their identity, dignity, and dreams.
At its heart, this is a story of migration, memory, and resilience—a vivid portrait of one Black British family grappling with change, belonging, and the legacy of colonialism. From the quiet triumphs of everyday survival to the enduring impact of racism and cultural loss, Crooks brings to life the human experience of the Windrush generation in unforgettable detail.
Descendants is both a celebration and a reckoning. It gives voice to a generation whose contributions helped rebuild the UK—and whose legacy still shapes Britain today.
