Directed by James Rogan, this “landmark” documentary series examines one of the most notorious cases of 20th-century Britain, the murder of 18-year-old black student, Stephen Lawrence by a group of white teenage boys. What ensued was one of the longest, most complex and mishandled murder investigations in the history of the Metropolitan Police; allowing the suspected killers to evade justice for nearly two decades.
This series made waves when it was broadcast and helped spark a national debate. As a result, Rogan Productions were recently commissioned to cut down the films for BBC Teach – a classroom resource for teachers. The episodes cover topics of diversity, identity, institutional racism, democracy and justice.
