In Conversation Series 3: Ricky Porter

Ricky Porter

Ricky Porter. His dad came to England from the West Indies in the 1930's breaking the taboos by marrying a Welsh girl. The pressures of his fathers singing fame and the racial pressures led to family breakdown and Ricky ended up in boarding school where boxing was the best way to make a name for himself. He knows about prejudice and despair -- but also about hope -- a hope he found at his fathers deathbed. A gritty and moving story.
