Episode 1
Andi Oliver and daughter Miquita go on the journey of a lifetime to the Caribbean. In Antigua, they meet their eldest relative, who shares disturbing memories of colonial days.
Andi Oliver and daughter Miquita go on the journey of a lifetime to the Caribbean. It鈥檚 a chance to see the changing West Indies from the perspective of two generations, with stops in Antigua, Barbuda and Barbados.
In the first episode, Andi and Miquita reconnect with their family in Antigua and explore their heritage at this significant time for black British identity. As well as fulfilling a longstanding ambition of going together to visit their relatives, they meet fellow black Brits who have given up life in London and made the move back to Antigua. Miquita, a fitness fanatic, talks her mum into some underwater exploring in what turns out to be a life-changing experience.
Miquita pursues her spiritual interests by immersing herself in Rasta culture on the island, bonding with a member of the community who has a surprising past. They also explore Antigua鈥檚 sister island of Barbuda to find out why, in contrast to the rest of the Caribbean, and not without controversy, it remains wild, sparsely populated and virtually untouched by development and tourism.
The episode also explores the legacy of colonialism and its longstanding impact on Caribbean people through the unique perspective of two generations. Miquita and Andi鈥檚 close, fun-filled relationship gives a fresh and uplifting perspective on these beautiful islands.
