The story

Racial tensions manifest themselves at home, work and on the streets during Bonfire Night, with racism and violence directed against the burgeoning West Indian community of post-war Britain. Trade union leader Jacko Palmer fights for the rights of a Black worker but struggles with the news that his own daughter, Kathie, is planning to marry a West Indian, much against his own logic and the hysterical racism of his wife Nell.
