Storyline

In 1950s London racial hostility to Commonweath immigrants is openly paraded. A pregnant girl, initially assumed to be white, is murdered. As two detectives start to investigate, and discover her racial origins were much more mixed, public prejudices and those of the officers themselves are exposed.—Jeremy Perkins {J-26}



Short Review

Slow plot development, but chilling in it's racial tension. I was a child in the UK at this time and did not realize how bad things were.
