A screenwriter, whose brother came to the UK when he was eight years old as part of the Windrush generation, will turn his brother’s involvement in the Windrush scandal into a forthcoming BBC drama.
“As his brother, I saw what he went through first-hand,” Thompson told BBC News.
Stephen S Thompson will write Sitting in Limbo, which is inspired by the experiences of his older brother Anthony Bryan.
Piers Wenger, controller of BBC Drama, said Bryan’s story was “incredibly important and one that needs to be told with urgency”.
