Mangrove
The first of 5 in the Small Axe film series, created by Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave).
I enjoyed it, although it made the blood boil as you'd expect.
Set in Notting Hill in the 70s, the true story of the West Indian community being harassed by police, building up to a trial where "The Mangrove 9" defend themselves in court against charges of inciting a riot.
Well written, filmed and acted. Am looking forward to the next 4 films, which each apparently tell a different (true) story.
