Synopsis

Billy Pitcher … a London cab driver, a devout football fan and an out and out racist. He’s an overprotective family man pushing his white supremacist agenda on all those around him. When his daughter, who doesn't agree with any of his views, starts dating a black man it tips him over the edge.
She makes a deal with her father to attend one of his ‘Keep Britain White’ meetings if he agrees to attend her partner’s African church. It happens that he attends on the day of 'UMBADEHDEH', a spiritual ritual where dreams or nightmares can come true and Billy wakes up the next morning inside a black person's body. What follows is a hilarious comedic journey with an intelligent narrative as he discovers first-hand what it's like to be Black in todays’ society and why the world is screaming ‘BLACK LIVES MATTER’!
