Depressed, decaying and culturally divided are often words used in conjunction with the name "Bradford". It's a city that has come to define the grim-up-north epithet, and with the huge influx of immigrants from Pakistan, earned the label "Bradistan".... Throw in two sets of racially motivated riots, and its reputation appears sealed forever. As well as the largest Muslim population outside of London, Bradford has the youngest and fastest growing population. Cue super-cars, sleek restaurants, funky shisha lounges and young Asian multi-millionaires. While nobody's been looking, a revolution has been going on in the city. This warm, affectionate series offers a unique perspective on this fascinating city, following the life and work of some of its biggest characters. It's the optimistic antidote to the tiresome "grim North" stereotype, presenting a vibrant community facing up to the future.
