| Synopsis: | The TV drama presents a world in which the ethnic and social relations in England are turned upside down: here Blacks are in a position of power, whereas whites embody the 'burden of the less fortunate'. By merging different levels of narration and by contrasting the story with documentary-style material, the film highlights the ignorance, violence and brutality with which the dominant group reacts to ethnic and social minorities. | |
