What people have to say about BCMD Voices

"It's bang on I cannot fault it - edited very well love the way interviews have been chopped and put into place all flows perfect I'm very impressed and very confident it will go down well with the public.

And thank you Frankie for the vision and making it come alive !" 

 - Shaz In Walsall

"I really enjoyed that, such a heart warming and touching story from each of the men. I found it so interesting to hear about how their parents and grandparents came here and integrated into society. How the community was back then, leaving doors open and doing anything to help each other. I think that the first generation that came here were so brave and, as they said, the younger generation have it easy now thanks to them. Beautiful documentary, thanks."
-  Judith in Brighton.

"Well done to all the team involved in putting this together. You all should be proud .

Bruv meant a lot to me listening to all the different stories from each family members I now ask other friends and family members of their stories to the UK. On what us guys covered in this documentary."

"I think it’s important to document our heritage like what BCMD have done here.

The contribution we have made to the uk as immigrants coming to a foreign land is worthy of celebration

Over the last 50 years the south Asian diaspora living here in the uk have embraced the opportunities provided to them. They play an integral role in the fabric of our society and the development of communities."
