Filmmaker, Marc Isaacs, examines with charm and humour modern attitudes towards race in Barking, a white working class town to the East of London. Through the lives of five key characters from different ethnic backgrounds, Isaacs, a prominent but unseen presence, questions prejudices, and pries at preconceptions with remarkable results. The film at times plays like a Mike Leigh comedy, particularly when the filmmaker urges a white resident to meet up with her Nigerian neighbours.

Marc Isaacs began working on documentaries for some of Channel 4's and the BBC's most prized documentary strands. His first documentary Lift won numerous awards at many festivals worldwide. It has been followed by documentaries such as the BBC funded Calais The Last Border (2003) and Philip and His Seven Wives (2006).
