british citizens in forced exile

In 1982, we filmed a family of Chagos Islanders in exile in Mauritius. Here all 25 of them sleep in shifts in one squalid room with the baby in a cardboard box. [15 years later], we found the same family, living in the same shack, in the same terrible conditions. They still sleep on the floor, the rain still pours in, the toilet is still a hole in the ground. They are still so poor that they often go hungry. What was done to these people is today defined in international law as a crime against humanity.
