Synopsis: based on the aftermath of the Stephen Lawrence murder. A "Community" trial, bringing together the mothers of a dead black teenager and his supposed killer, and a racist white boy found innocent in court. It is chaired by a town councillor, who has, let us say, overstepped the boundry of this already misconceived set-up.
