The Delegate
Care-worker Beauty Olonga struggles to understand Britons at a Dementia care conference. Stars Jocelyn Jee Esien. From 2011.
Karen of the Featherdown agency sends Beauty to the 'End of Life' care conference on her behalf.
Beauty struggles to understand the peculiar behaviour of the British at a conference and their obsessions with name tags and lanyards, as well as why she is the only carer in attendance. This must be why the keynote speaker, Professor Smythe takes a shine to her?
Starring Jocelyn Jee Esien.
Beauty's adventures continue as the Featherdown Agency sends her to provide care for the elderly.
Beauty’s Zimbabwean Shona background has taught her to respect age. She sees Britain at its best and its worst
