Devised by Bafta-winning producer Fiona Lamptey, Foresight is a response to what it means to be a person of colour living in the UK. Although these films don't present an idyllic future, Lamptey says, 'my hope is that by imagining the future, we can kickstart a necessary conversation and inspire change. We don't want the futures presented in these films – so what do we do to change that?'
