It also interviews high-profile public figures who have used their platforms to discuss racism over the past year.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Giles, ITV&#8217;s controller of current affairs, said: \u201cBy speaking to leading figures and hearing the experiences of British people, this documentary aims to reflect on the impact of George Floyd&#8217;s death, offer insight into how the reverberations are continuing to be felt and ask where do we go from here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The death of George Floyd a year ago sent waves of anger and frustration across the globe,&#8221; said McDonald. &#8220;It sparked a worldwide movement of such power and emotion. This film will explore what the legacy of the Black Lives Matter movement is in Britain.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>White added: \u201cAfter the death of George Floyd came the worldwide explosion of one of the most poignant anti-racism messages of a generation: Black Lives Matter. But what impact, if any, did the movement have in Britain? Will it lead to any tangible change? And what about those who feel the movement has gone too far.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Andy Dunn, ITN Productions&#8217; executive producer, said: \u201cNever more so than during the past year have open and honest conversations surrounding race and racism been had in the U.K. A year on from George Floyd\u2019s death, this film examines what effect it and the Black Lives Matter movement that followed had on Britain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ITN Productions is producing George Floyd: Has Britain Changed?
