A new series called Guerilla which premieres on Wednesday, 31 January at 21h30. It's a Sky Atlantic/Showtime joint production, created by John Ridley, the Oscar winning writer of 12 years a Slave.
This is what it's about:
Set against the evocative backdrop of 1970s London, Guerrilla follows two young activists involved in the capital’s Black Power movement, whose relationship falls under intense pressure when they clash with racist elements within the police.
It’s a fictional exploration of a thought-provoking moment in history, which asks what might have happened if Black Power groups in the UK had turned to violence in their fight for equal rights.
Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire, Rise of Planet of the Apes) and Gambian-English actor Babou Ceesay star as the central couple Jas and Marcus.
