Kwame Kwei Armah

Sarah Montague asks playwright Kwame Kwei–Armah about the legacy of slavery.

Why is it that so many young black men in Britain think that criminality is cool? It's a question that keeps being raised by Kwame Kwei-Armah, an actor, playwright and director who has won a string of awards for his work portraying what it's like to be black in Britain. Sarah Montague asks the playwright if the answer really lies with a lack of role models and the legacy of slavery.
