Very Rare and Hard to Find.
It was every parent's nightmare, made even more terrifying by the spectre of racism. On an April night in 1993, 18-year-old Stephen Lawrence was viciously attacked by a group of knife-wielding white men shouting racial epithets while waiting for a bus in a London neighborhood. Stephen's Wounds were fatal, but the mishandling of his case exposed a floundering justice system and a corrupt culture that tolerated institutionalized racism and violence. Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Academy Award -nominee for Secrets and Lies) and Hugh Quarshie (A Respectable Trade) shine in the true story of Doreen and Neville Lawrence, grieving parents whose unending quest for answers, arrests, and convictions in their son's murder led to headline-making accusations of police racism and ineptitude.
The couple's precedent setting legal battle against the entire criminal justice system saw their grief joined by frustration, anger, and ultimately redemption, as an entire country was forced to come to grips with the unsightly reality of racism. Hailed as "searing," "magnificent," and "a true masterpiece," The Murder of Stephen Lawrence will rivet and astound viewers with its power.
