00:00things you do not understand
00:05Alfred Connacht disinherited his son we have to send someone out to Jamaica
00:10we're gonna fight this in possession Gugum Baturó plays an ambitious young mixed-race
00:16lawyer sent to the island to represent a white aristocrat whose father left the vast family
00:21estate to a local man and I was really intrigued by Claudia as you say because she starts off
00:27as this sort of you know cool ambitious rational career woman and really just goes on a huge
00:34journey of self-discovery and I just thought it was incredibly bold and original and so to be able to
00:43go on this journey and knowing that we would be filming in Jamaica you know obviously you know
00:48the themes of the show and the journey of the character but also a personal adventure to go on
00:53you know um for your you know life and cultural experience was was just so appealing
01:00the five-part miniseries blends supernatural mystery and magical realism to explore the
01:06enduring legacy of colonialism and slavery it is odd to my people it's not getting it back
01:13filming in Jamaica was super important and being on the land and having the history there um present
01:18in front of us so yeah and you know it's important to consider as well the UK's relationship with
01:23Jamaica um so it could have only been told there she is a witch set in two different time periods
01:30the
01:31case takes a disturbing turn when Claudia discovers that the disputed property has long haunted her
01:36nightmares then my reach out to you that it wasn't a set it was a real house there was real
01:42history in
01:43that soil um you know it it was chilling in a way but I think it also gave us a
01:49real sense of grounded
01:50authenticity you know knowing that Storm was at the helm directing and really um having to respect that
01:58that history and that culture you know it just it gives you an added um layer to your performance I
02:04think knowing that you know the ancestors are are not far away yeah a family
