What is the Black to Front Project?
Channel 4’s Black To Front Project sees the channel commissioning new shows and re-imagining some of its most popular existing ones in order to increase representation both in front of and behind the camera.
The channel said it wanted to “amplify black talent, stories, and voices by bringing them to the forefront on screen and off screen”.
