Directed by Amma Asante Belle tells the story of the relationship between an aspiring lawyer and the mixed-race daughter of an aristocrat. It is set against the background of a court hearing which helped to contribute to the abolition of slavery in Britain.
“…a handsomely mounted and emotionally engaging drama that smartly examines issues of race, class and gender while leaving nary a dry eye in the house.” Critic Mark Kermode in the Observer.
