Emeli Sandé

My Grandparents' War Episode 4 | 44m 33s | CC

Singer-songwriter Emeli Sandé explores her grandparents’ remarkable stories, which span World War II, the Mau Mau insurgency in Kenya, and the fight for independence in Zambia. She faces a mix of emotions: “Both sets of my grandparents were involved in violent struggles in Africa,” she says. “One, tasked with upholding the British Empire. The other: trying to overthrow it.”

Original production funding for Season 2 of MY GRANDPARENTS' WAR was provided, in part, by MyHeritage and PBS viewers.

A production of Wonderhood Studios for Channel 4 Television, in association with The WNET Group.
