EPISODE 1.1
Mangrove
The true story of The Mangrove Nine, who clashed with
... More London police in 1970. The trial that followed was the first judicial acknowledgment of behaviour motivated by racial hatred within the Metropolitan Police.LessComprised of five original films, this anthology series from Oscar-winning filmmaker Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave) tells different stories centred on the lives of London’s West Indian community from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s. The title is derived from the African proverb, “If you are the big tree, we are the small axe.”
