Through his new film, ‘Farming,’ British-born actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje seeks to tell his story about a Nigerian boy in a white foster family in 1960s Britain, where as a youth the unthinkable happened: he joined a gang of skinheads
LAGOS - British-born Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje was taken into foster care by a white family near London as a baby in the 1960s. As a youth, the unthinkable happened: the black boy joined a gang of violent white supremacists.
The aim of the practice, mainly prevalent from the 1960s to 1980s, was for the immigrants to eventually return to Nigeria. As a six-week-old baby in 1967, Akinnuoye-Agbaje was left in the care of a white family in Tilbury, a southeast England town around 20 miles east of central London. And, as a youth, he joined a gang of skinheads - a far-right subculture often associated with racist violence in Britain.
