London Breeze Film Festival is delighted to present the winner of its Best Feature Documentary award for 2025 at The Garden Cinema.
Here's what our jury member, Curtis Gallant of The Whickers awards, had to say about the film:
“The winning documentary highlights how the past can echo across generations. This highly personal story confronts concealed history on both sides of the Atlantic. It poignantly captures the power of both hate and love, and its title character fills the screen with his big-hearted personality.”
Terry Harrison MBE is on an emotional quest to trace his GI dad, whom he never knew, and learn about the lives of African American soldiers based in Britain during WW2. This epic journey takes him to South Carolina, Washington DC and the Northern Beaches of France. Former Royal Marines Commando, a keen gardener and proud Leicester City fan, Terry has been on a lifelong quest to find out more about his dad until his journey takes a very unexpected new turn.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director, Jonathan Beamish, Terry Harrison and other guests to be confirmed.
