Gospel Heroes

'I tell you plainly: if I was not a committed, born-again child of God, I doubt I could have survived the conditions that we found in this country.' Black Christians from the West Indies have been living in Britain for nearly 30 years. How has their Christianity affected their response to conditions here? Everyman filmed with members of the Bethel Apostolic Church and their pastors, Ken and David Douglas, from Jamaica. For these Pentacostal Christians, it isn't enough just to pray: 'Unless we begin to work together for equal rights and equal opportunities, then our prayers won't help.'
