Brit Camp: Building Bridges

0001 10:00:13:00 10:00:15:00

(narrator) In the first episode,

0002 10:00:15:00 10:00:18:17 six children from different backgrounds who all live in Britain

0003 10:00:18:17 10:00:23:17 arrived in the Lakes to spend the weekend together camping at a farm.

0004 10:00:23:17 10:00:25:20

This trip offers them the opportunity

0005 10:00:25:20 10:00:28:04 to mix with others from different backgrounds

0006 10:00:28:04 10:00:30:18 and discover what it means to be British.

0007 10:00:30:18 10:00:34:05

But getting along is not going to be easy.

0008 10:00:35:21 10:00:41:04

Sometimes when I hear people, black and white, talking about terrorists,

0009 10:00:41:04 10:00:44:22

I think they're aiming it at me because of my colour and background.

0010 10:00:44:22 10:00:47:23

I wouldn't be mates with an Asian in Bradford

0011 10:00:47:23 10:00:52:03 because people around me would take the mick out of me and him.

0012 10:00:52:03 10:00:53:21

(narrator) For these children,

0013 10:00:53:21 10:00:56:08

Britain is a place of difference and division.

0014 10:00:56:08 10:01:00:21

What will happen when they spend the weekend together on a camping trip?

0015 10:01:00:21 10:01:03:22

- His colour make you uncomfortable? - A little bit.

0016 10:01:03:22 10:01:06:23

(man) Do you think Niall's representation is accurate?

0017 10:01:06:23 10:01:11:01

- People just don't want to mix. - It's like a war.

0018 10:01:11:01 10:01:12:07

Can you cook with that?

0019 10:01:12:07 10:01:16:04

(narrator) Helping them is historian Dr Nick Barratt.

0020 10:01:16:04 10:01:18:17

There's different ideas coming from all of you

0021 10:01:18:17 10:01:21:08 about what you think it means to be British.

0022 10:01:21:08 10:01:23:08

(narrator) In the previous episode,

0023 10:01:23:08 10:01:25:16 the children arrived at the farm at night

0024 10:01:25:16 10:01:28:03 and quickly formed alliances with one another.

0025 10:01:28:03 10:01:30:17

Niall's... a joker.

0026 10:01:30:17 10:01:33:00

(giggling)

0027 10:01:33:00 10:01:38:04

(boy) He's, like, one of the people that I find I talk to.

0028 10:01:38:04 10:01:41:21

They're all really funny and they're really good friends.

0029 10:01:42:13 10:01:45:18

(narrator) Some, however, remained on the outskirts.

0030 10:01:45:18 10:01:49:12

We've moved so we can be away from the boys, cos they're stinky.

0031 10:01:49:12 10:01:52:05

So we've come here to be by ourselves.

0032 10:01:52:05 10:01:55:04

(narrator) Coming up, they will camp and cook together,

0033 10:01:55:04 10:01:57:13 as well as complete activities

0034 10:01:57:13 10:02:00:12 exploring what it means to be British.

0035 10:02:10:20 10:02:13:11

(narrator) It's the morning after arrival 0036 10:02:13:11 10:02:17:23 and, as the girls predicted, it was a long night for the boys.

0037 10:02:19:15 10:02:23:11

Last night, everyone was awake, no one could get to sleep.

0038 10:02:23:11 10:02:25:24

I was too excited to go to sleep.

0039 10:02:25:24 10:02:28:16

Niall was keeping us up all night

0040 10:02:28:16 10:02:32:16 cos he was reading magazines and shining the light.

0041 10:02:32:16 10:02:36:04

Before I came here, I thought I wouldn't be able to go to sleep

0042 10:02:36:04 10:02:38:17 because I have sleeping problems.

0043 10:02:38:17 10:02:43:05

But it were quite easy until the sheep started talking to each other

0044 10:02:43:05 10:02:45:13 and everyone was talking in the room,

0045 10:02:45:13 10:02:48:02 which were a bit distracting.

0046 10:02:48:02 10:02:50:12

But it's all right. I got to sleep anyway.

0047 10:02:50:12 10:02:52:24

(woman) Were you not talking, then?

0048 10:02:52:24 10:02:55:16 No, I weren't. I were playing on the DS.

0049 10:02:55:16 10:02:58:16

(narrator) After breakfast, as the children explore,

0050 10:02:58:16 10:03:00:21 they start to get to know each other.

0051 10:03:00:21 10:03:04:17

It soon becomes clear, however, that the camp is divided -

0052 10:03:04:17 10:03:06:23 it's girls versus boys.

0053 10:03:06:23 10:03:10:18

This is the axe if we want to kill any girls.

0054 10:03:10:18 10:03:13:09

Why girls?

0055 10:03:13:09 10:03:15:15

I don't know.

0056 10:03:15:15 10:03:18:07

You just... you know...

0057 10:03:18:07 10:03:22:00

- He's a raper. - I'm a what?

0058 10:03:22:00 10:03:24:14

- (Shakwa) It's "rapist". - (Niall) Shut up.

0059 10:03:24:14 10:03:27:18

- I knew that. I just forgot. - (Anesu) Yeah.

0060 10:03:27:18 10:03:30:02

- I'm sure you did. - That's what they all say. 0061 10:03:31:20 10:03:34:00

(Anesu) Can you imagine jumping from there?

0062 10:03:34:00 10:03:37:06

You're not gonna live, though, are you?

0063 10:03:37:06 10:03:39:13

I want to walk up there today.

0064 10:03:39:13 10:03:42:14

(woman) Would you guys all choose to go on holiday together?

0065 10:03:42:14 10:03:47:12

I'd take these, but I'd leave them - they're boring.

0066 10:03:47:12 10:03:51:22

- They don't talk. - (Anesu) They don't talk, do they?

0067 10:03:51:22 10:03:54:00

(Niall) I don't like 'em.

0068 10:03:54:00 10:03:57:12

The girls are sensible, but not boring. They're not silly like us.

0069 10:03:57:12 10:03:59:15

Yeah, they are. They don't talk.

0070 10:03:59:15 10:04:03:19

- (Nabeel) They're quiet. - How do you know they don't talk?

0071 10:04:03:19 10:04:06:20

- (Shakwa) Do you talk to 'em? - I've been with 'em for about...

0072 10:04:06:20 10:04:09:09 six hours, and they haven't said a word. 0073 10:04:09:09 10:04:12:11

It's not that we're boring. It's that we get shy sometimes

0074 10:04:12:11 10:04:14:23 when we see people new and stuff.

0075 10:04:15:11 10:04:18:07

- There's a sheep. - Looks constipated.

0076 10:04:18:07 10:04:19:20

(giggling)

0077 10:04:21:05 10:04:23:21

(Shakwa) What does a constipated sheep look like?

0078 10:04:25:21 10:04:29:11

(narrator) For some of these children, this is the first time

0079 10:04:29:11 10:04:32:16 they've mixed with others from different backgrounds.

0080 10:04:32:16 10:04:36:05

And it's also the first time they've been on a farm.

0081 10:04:36:05 10:04:38:05

(Shakwa) We're not going to eat that?

0082 10:04:38:05 10:04:41:02

- No. - With some herbs.

0083 10:04:41:02 10:04:44:06

- Some chillies. - (Niall giggles)

0084 10:04:45:15 10:04:48:13

Let me tell you a joke. A horse walks into a bar. 0085 10:04:48:13 10:04:50:12

Barman says, "Why the long face?"

0086 10:04:59:02 10:05:02:13

- How often do you collect the wool? - Once a year.

0087 10:05:02:13 10:05:04:23

- (Marianna) Does it hurt? - No.

0088 10:05:09:13 10:05:12:03

(narrator) A chance to show off football skills

0089 10:05:12:03 10:05:13:18 brings them together,

0090 10:05:13:18 10:05:16:17 and it's something they're all interested in.

0091 10:05:16:17 10:05:22:03

You start off doing kick-ups by holding it in your hand, like this.

0092 10:05:28:21 10:05:31:06

- (narrator) Maybe not all of them. - Sorry!

0093 10:05:46:17 10:05:49:17

(Nabeel) Good game. What score was it? 4-1?

0094 10:05:49:17 10:05:52:12

(Anesu) Yeah, 4-1.

0095 10:05:52:12 10:05:56:08

- That was a good game. - Yeah, it were good, wasn't it?

0096 10:05:57:06 10:05:59:20

(narrator) For Niall and Nabeel, playing like this

0097 10:05:59:20 10:06:03:17 would not be possible in their everyday lives.

0098 10:06:11:20 10:06:17:04

We're going to areas in Keighley, which is a part of Bradford,

0099 10:06:17:04 10:06:19:06 to show where Nabeel lives.

0100 10:06:19:06 10:06:22:16

There are areas in Keighley where it's predominantly Asian

0101 10:06:22:16 10:06:24:16 and predominantly white.

0102 10:06:27:10 10:06:31:18

This area is called Braithwaite. It's almost totally a white area

0103 10:06:31:18 10:06:36:18 and it's segregated from the next catchment area, which is Highfield.

0104 10:06:36:18 10:06:38:20

I would like to mix with the white people.

0105 10:06:38:20 10:06:41:22

It's just that when I go to white areas, I don't feel safe

0106 10:06:41:22 10:06:45:09 because there are people out there who are racist

0107 10:06:45:09 10:06:48:04 and I won't be feeling safe there.

0108 10:06:50:08 10:06:53:03

(Habib) This is the area where Nabeel lives.

0109 10:06:53:03 10:06:55:23 Sometimes what happens is

0110 10:06:55:23 10:06:59:14 the white community perceives this as a no-go area for them,

0111 10:06:59:14 10:07:02:09 and if we went to Braithwaite,

0112 10:07:02:09 10:07:06:03 it would be probably a no-go area for Asians.

0113 10:07:06:03 10:07:09:11

It's probably a misunderstanding of both communities.

0114 10:07:11:16 10:07:16:01

Since 9/11, the Muslim community's come under a lot of pressure.

0115 10:07:16:01 10:07:19:12

I feel that they're being persecuted as a whole community

0116 10:07:19:12 10:07:22:11 when there's a few individuals who do wrong.

0117 10:07:28:11 10:07:31:10

Most of my friends are English in this area

0118 10:07:31:10 10:07:35:00 cos it's a white area in Bradford.

0119 10:07:35:00 10:07:37:21

My school's 80% white

0120 10:07:37:21 10:07:40:12 and 20% is Asian,

0121 10:07:40:12 10:07:43:07 and I hang around with the white people. 0122 10:07:43:07 10:07:45:24

I don't think I'd get on with an Asian kid

0123 10:07:45:24 10:07:50:11 cos they've got different-coloured skin, their families are different

0124 10:07:50:11 10:07:54:03 and they've got a different accent to me, which'd be weird,

0125 10:07:54:03 10:07:59:23 speaking to someone. I may not understand a lot of things they say.

0126 10:07:59:23 10:08:01:23

(laughter)

0127 10:08:05:01 10:08:07:23

(Anesu) Who peed on the train?

0128 10:08:08:14 10:08:12:12

(Niall) So how many things do you have up your bum?

0129 10:08:12:12 10:08:14:24

Right, we're gonna do a drawing exercise,

0130 10:08:14:24 10:08:17:18 and the aim of this is to explore identity -

0131 10:08:17:18 10:08:20:13 how we look at each other and how we see each other.

0132 10:08:20:13 10:08:22:20

To do that, we won't draw each other's faces,

0133 10:08:22:20 10:08:26:22 but draw the things that we think the person opposite you represents. 0134 10:08:43:11 10:08:46:12

OK, guys, I think that's just about time up,

0135 10:08:46:12 10:08:48:22 so please stop drawing.

0136 10:08:48:22 10:08:51:17

I know it's disappointing. You were getting into it.

0137 10:08:51:17 10:08:53:14

OK, Niall, let's start with you.

0138 10:08:53:14 10:08:56:22

Right, this is your impression of Nabeel.

0139 10:08:56:22 10:08:59:19

- What's this a drawing of? - I think he's from Pakistan

0140 10:08:59:19 10:09:02:22 cos of the colour of his skin and his voice,

0141 10:09:02:22 10:09:05:04 and I think he's British born.

0142 10:09:05:04 10:09:07:18

- How about this one here? - Erm...

0143 10:09:07:18 10:09:11:02

"Curry", because that's what most...

0144 10:09:11:02 10:09:16:12

Well, it's just, like, the traditional food for Pakistan.

0145 10:09:16:12 10:09:19:16

Do you think Niall's representation of you is accurate?

0146 10:09:19:16 10:09:22:07 Or is there anything you'd change about it?

0147 10:09:22:07 10:09:26:06

If I had anything to change, I'd change curry cos I don't eat curry.

0148 10:09:26:06 10:09:30:03

What about Niall picking up on the fact that you were from Pakistan

0149 10:09:30:03 10:09:32:02 by your voice?

0150 10:09:32:02 10:09:34:03

People have different ways of talking

0151 10:09:34:03 10:09:36:18 and I have a different way to him.

0152 10:09:36:18 10:09:40:15

So, Nabeel, this is your representation of Niall.

0153 10:09:40:15 10:09:43:20

OK. First of all, you've drawn a flag.

0154 10:09:43:20 10:09:46:17

- What's this for? - I think he's English

0155 10:09:46:17 10:09:53:08 because he's got light skin and he talks like an English person.

0156 10:09:53:08 10:09:56:19

A sausage because he's a non-vegetarian

0157 10:09:56:19 10:10:00:17 and most non-vegetarians eat sausages and stuff like that.

0158 10:10:00:17 10:10:04:09 - (Nick) And would you eat this? - No, because I'm a Muslim.

0159 10:10:04:09 10:10:07:21

Well, the English is right. The sausage isn't right -

0160 10:10:07:21 10:10:09:16

I don't like sausage.

0161 10:10:09:16 10:10:12:16

Now, you were drawing about Marianna, weren't you?

0162 10:10:12:16 10:10:16:00

- OK, what's this a picture of? - (Shakwa) Somewhere hot.

0163 10:10:16:00 10:10:18:02

Somewhere hot. Why do you think that?

0164 10:10:18:02 10:10:20:04

Because of her skin colour.

0165 10:10:20:04 10:10:24:22

I think she's from somewhere exotic, Spain or somewhere like that.

0166 10:10:24:22 10:10:29:09

My home country is tropical and really hot, but it's not Spain.

0167 10:10:29:09 10:10:31:21

- (Nick) Where is it? - It's Cyprus.

0168 10:10:31:21 10:10:35:08

Let's see what you think of Shakwa. What does this one represent?

0169 10:10:35:08 10:10:38:10

He lives in North London, cos he told me.

0170 10:10:38:10 10:10:40:19 My mum's Jamaican and my dad's Tanzanian,

0171 10:10:40:19 10:10:43:10 but I live in Northwest London.

0172 10:10:43:10 10:10:47:20

So you consider yourself as being from London or from somewhere else?

0173 10:10:47:20 10:10:51:02

Being from somewhere else, but being British born.

0174 10:10:51:02 10:10:54:12

OK, Saquina, let's see what you think about Anesu.

0175 10:10:54:12 10:10:56:09

Let's have a look.

0176 10:10:56:09 10:10:58:21

I think he's from Africa

0177 10:10:58:21 10:11:02:05 because of his skin colour.

0178 10:11:02:05 10:11:05:11

(Nick) So where do you consider yourself to be mainly from?

0179 10:11:05:11 10:11:07:22

Er... Zimbabwe.

0180 10:11:07:22 10:11:09:21

(Nick) Not Britain?

0181 10:11:09:21 10:11:11:16

Well, a bit.

0182 10:11:11:16 10:11:13:17

(Nick) A bit? What sort of a bit?

0183 10:11:13:17 10:11:17:10

Can you explain why you feel slightly British?

0184 10:11:17:10 10:11:21:06

Erm... cos, like, I'm living here,

0185 10:11:21:06 10:11:26:21 but I think I'm more of an African because I got born there.

0186 10:11:26:21 10:11:30:04

Saquina, sounds like you've done a good job of working out Anesu.

0187 10:11:30:04 10:11:35:15

Let's see what he thinks of you. Anesu, let's look at your drawing.

0188 10:11:35:15 10:11:38:12

You've got two words there. What are they?

0189 10:11:38:12 10:11:42:14

Erm... that's "Portugal", but I couldn't fit it in,

0190 10:11:42:14 10:11:45:23 and "England", cos she lives in England.

0191 10:11:45:23 10:11:49:10

- (Nick) Where do you consider home? - (Saquina) Portugal.

0192 10:11:49:10 10:11:53:05

Why don't you feel British? Or that association with being in Britain?

0193 10:11:53:05 10:12:00:00

Because I don't have a passp... a British passport,

0194 10:12:00:00 10:12:06:00

I haven't lived... I haven't been, like, here for five or ten years,

0195 10:12:06:00 10:12:09:04 so I can't say that I'm British.

0196 10:12:09:04 10:12:12:23

It might take a bit of time, then you might start to feel British?

0197 10:12:12:23 10:12:16:05

- Yeah. - Anesu, is that similar for you?

0198 10:12:16:05 10:12:17:13

Yes.

0199 10:12:17:13 10:12:20:15

So for you, it's where you live and how long you live there.

0200 10:12:20:15 10:12:23:19

- Is that fair to say? - Yeah.

0201 10:12:23:19 10:12:24:20

- Yeah? - Mm-hm.

0202 10:12:24:20 10:12:29:00

And yet for you, it's about heritage and background.

0203 10:12:29:00 10:12:31:11

How would you describe someone who was British?

0204 10:12:31:11 10:12:33:01

Erm...

0205 10:12:33:01 10:12:35:19 someone with white skin,

0206 10:12:36:10 10:12:39:07 er... has...

0207 10:12:39:07 10:12:42:22 speaks English and has a British accent. 0208 10:12:42:22 10:12:44:17

Nabeel, how do you feel?

0209 10:12:44:17 10:12:47:23

Niall's saying that to be British, you have to be white.

0210 10:12:47:23 10:12:52:08

- Is that something you agree with? - No, you don't have to be white.

0211 10:12:52:08 10:12:54:09

- You consider yourself British? - Yeah.

0212 10:12:54:09 10:12:57:09

You don't have to be white and have an accent.

0213 10:12:57:09 10:13:02:16

You just... need to be born in England or Britain or wherever.

0214 10:13:02:16 10:13:05:18

(narrator) Having gained insight into their differences

0215 10:13:05:18 10:13:08:07 and their views on what it means to be British,

0216 10:13:08:07 10:13:11:05 in the final episode, their values will be tested

0217 10:13:11:05 10:13:14:16 as they set up camp and share tents together for the night.

0218 10:13:14:16 10:13:16:10

Put it there, my friend.

0219 10:13:16:10 10:13:18:11

Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? 0220 10:13:18:11 10:13:23:23

(narrator) The question of Britishness culminates in a debate.

0221 10:13:23:23 10:13:26:06

I understand people's backgrounds,

0222 10:13:26:06 10:13:30:08 but I still probably wouldn't hang around with an Asian.

0223 10:13:30:08 10:13:32:05

It's like a war.
