Jimmy Akingbola reveals the truth of growing up in the care system in England, where the number of children in care has risen by a massive 28% in the past decade to almost half a million. At 2, Jimmy was uprooted from his Nigerian family and fostered by a white British family, who raised him as if he were their own. Now living in the bright lights of Hollywood with a glittering career, Jimmy returns home to Britain to reflect on how his upbringing shaped him and whether a loving family, no matter their ethnicity, is always more important than racial or cultural differences.
