New Blues

Historically most black people in Britain have voted Labour. Those who support the Conservative party have done so in hushed tones for fear of being called "traitors". In his film, Andrew Scantlebury , one of the growing number of Afro-Caribbeans who are active Conservatives, challenges the notion that the colour of your skin should determine the way you vote. He reveals what it is like to be a black Tory as he confronts the criticisms of friends and family who cannot accept his choice.
