Soon Gone: A Windrush Chronicle

Episode three: Kev (1968).

It’s 1968, and while the world is exploding around him, racially and politically, 17 year-old Kev Williams keeps a low profile working as a mechanic, the only black man in a white-owned garage.

He was keen to leave a school where he was an anomaly. A loyal son to Eunice and Cyrus, Kev knows his place in the family hierarchy and stays within it, despite the pain it causes him to see his half-sister, Yvonne, getting most of the attention. But times are changing for Kev too: he is not all he seems and has his own plans for moving on.

Rising star Jonathan Jules (Invasion Earth, The Battle Within, Dave Allen At Peace), pictured, plays the role of Kev.

Written by actor-director Clint Dyer (Royal Court Theatre, Scala Films, Theatre Royal Stratford) the episode is directed by Dionne Edwards (We Love Moses, That Girl).
