Guerrilla

Guerrilla follows two politically active lovers and their friends as the political becomes personal. Based in 1970s London, the group of activists go head-to-head with a racist police force who are dedicated to crushing them.

Their ultimate target becomes the Black Power Desk, a true-life, secretive counter-intelligence unit within Special Branch dedicated to eradicating all forms of black activism.

Guerrilla explores the nature of a relationship under pressure and poses the question: what if the original Black Power movement in London had used violence?

Frieda Pinto and Babou Ceesay lead up the cast as the politically active lovers, with Idris Elba playing an activist dedicated to a more pacifist approach.

The series also stars Zawe Ashton, Nicholas Pinnock, Wunmi Mosaku, and Nathaniel Martello-White, as well as African American actor Brandon Scott, plus Rory Kinnear, Daniel Mays, and Denise Gough round out the key cast.

Guerrilla is created by Academy Award® winner John Ridley (12 Years a Slave).
