Kema Kay, star of I Daniel Blake, moved to Newcastle from Zambia aged three for his father’s education. He calls the city home, but has always struggled with a sense of belonging. Despite Kema and his family entering the country legally, he faced years of delays to his immigration case, leaving him in limbo for most of his adult life. Kema is retracing his steps, talking to the people who impacted his life, his closest friends, his surrogate family and Ken Loach, the person who gave him his big break, to understand what made him the man he is today.
