The long song / a Heyday Television production for BBC ; produced by Roopesh Parekh ; written by Sarah Williams ; directed by Mahalia Belo.
Follows the indomitable young slave, July, who works on a sugarcane plantation owned by her detestable mistress, Caroline Mortimer. Their lives change with the arrival of the charming new overseer, Robert Goodwin, who sets out to improve the plantation for both the slaves and the mistress. Told from July's perspective as she reflects upon her life, it's a tale of love, hope and defiance in the face of unjustice.
