Faith Hope and Glory began following the lives of Hope, Faith (Eunice) and Gloria in the UK in 1946. Three generations of three families bound together by the fate of one baby lost and found on Tilbury Dock. All three are now settled in their lives in 1980s Britain.

We have reached 1983. It’s election time. There are tensions between right and left, and young and old, and within families as a new generation of Black Britons take their place in Thatcher’s Britain, making their mark on the political, social, and creative fabric of their home.

Hope’s first husband Jim, now a successful actor, left her and their children years previously after a troubled marriage.
