Joseph Mowlah-Baksh, a 65-year-old man who is part of the Windrush generation and has struggled throughout his life due to the Windrush scandal. He arrived in England as a baby on the Empire Windrush ship in 1948 using his father's passport. The Windrush scandal, which came to light in 2017, affected nearly 60,000 people who were wrongly classified as illegal immigrants.

In a documentary titled "Pride of Britain: A Windrush Special" that aired on ITV, Joseph Mowlah-Baksh shared his emotional journey. He explained that receiving a British passport marked the end of 40 years of chasing official identification and job opportunities. The lack of official ID had hindered his ability to find work, as he had to repeatedly explain his situation during job interviews.

In the documentary, stories from various members of the Windrush generation are shared, and the Windrush generation received a Pride of Britain Award this year. The Windrush generation refers to people from Caribbean countries who moved to the UK, starting with the arrival of passengers on the HMT Empire Windrush ship in 1948.

The Windrush generation's contributions to Britain were celebrated on the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the Empire Windrush. The documentary features interviews with notable figures, including Sir Trevor McDonald, Alesha Dixon, Mel B, Judi Love, and Prince William.

The Windrush generation faced significant challenges and injustices, including the impact of the government's "hostile environment" policy. In 2020, a report by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) found that this policy broke equality laws and contributed to serious injustices faced by the Windrush generation, calling it a "shameful stain on British history."
