WE are an independent television production company based in Shropshire. We are researching an idea for a television documentary about the story of the British Empire and the legacy that it has left behind.

We are trying to find out what it means to be part of the British Empire in the 21st century. Does pride in the territories still exist? And what are the feelings of those people who remain in the territories that have gained independence? We want to trace the roots of the Empire through the eyes of those who have grown up and experienced the changing environment around them.

What are the personal stories that make the people who they are? We are interested in good and bad experiences. If you are interested in contributing to this documentary in any way, we would very much welcome hearing from you.
