Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer-Home Mangrove tells the true story of Frank Crichlow, whose West Indian restaurant Mangrove, a lively community hub in London’s Notting Hill, attracted locals, activists, intellectuals and artists.
In a time of blatant racial discrimination, Crichlow finds himself and his drug-free business the brunt of relentless police raids. In a bid to stop the discrimination and ruination of their community base, Frank and his friends take to the streets in peaceful protest in 1970, only to be met by police aggression.
As a result, nine men and women, including Frank, leader of the British Black Panther movement Altheia Jones-LeCointe and activist Darcus Howe, are wrongly arrested and charged with incitement to riot and affray. A highly publicised trial ensues.

It's important young coloured Britons today understand that their responsibility is to take advantage of the opportunities that they have been given out of the sacrifice of a generation past.
That is the highest respect you can pay to their memories.
"We were never asked"
"Mostly peaceful"
Top top class filmmaking once again from Steve McQueen. The whole series is a masterpiece and a must watch!
This is the Steve McQueen I know and love.
I love me some Steve McQueen! This anthology is EVERYTHING!
This is wonderful!! It was far from my life as a student/hippy in Oxford in 1971, and it passed me unnoticed. The film is a brilliant education on what happened then. Everyone in the UK - especially white people - should know what happened, and how British Justice, in this case, won out against police corruption, brutality, and racism. The judge refused to take back his remarks about police racism when asked by the Conservative Home Secretary, Reginald Maudling. Uplifting, but we should continue to be aware that there is still much racism, both in the Establishment and in the wider society. BBC Radio4 also just aired an episode of "The Reunion", reuniting some of the participants and sharing memories of what happened, excellent.
Reading some of the sad pathetic racist comments from even sadder people is the reason shows like this are important!!!
Whens it on?
Excellent just watched this documentary film .. amazing acting, direction and realism well done
The over 75's are now being hunted down by a new 800 strong BBC team of license enforcers and bailiffs who cost £38M to setup.
im not saying the bbc isnt a little pc sometimes, but maybe watch the film before you start ranting and raving about defunding the bbc. if ur wondering what the point of this film is, well thats exactly what this youtube video is about
Well said!
Does anyone know where this was actually filmed? It drove me a little crazy, as I lived just at the bottom of All Saints Road for a few years and further up the Grove for almost a decade, and maybe parts of the protest were shot just up north of the Westway? But the cobble street that features as "All Saints Road". Where is that??? Also, I'm so so so curious to hear McQueen talk about the tower in the background, which appears to be going up. That's kind of were Grenfell or one of the other nearby towers in the neighbourhood would be going up at the time that Mangrove is based. For me, seeing it there was haunting. How does McQueen feel about it?
There are a couple scenes shot in Kentish Town that I recognised myself and in other areas of London too such as Ealing and Deptford and the road where the Mangrove set is apparently in Wolverhampton (Midlands)
England was a colonizing country, caused intense suffering all over the world. Look at what happened in Ireland, India, China, etc. Glad the British colonies were overthrown. The world is a better place. Power to the People!
And what's your point ? do you think a world colonized by black people will be better ?
I strongly doubt that.
No one with a British accent should ever say "power to the people." haha, you know nothing about the real struggle or where that saying actually came from in America. Stick to watch us get slaughtered over here on tv. We don't need a bunch of clout chasers hijacking AFRICAN AMERICAN movements.
Black or White the greatest struggle has always been that of the working class who keep this country moving.
What's with the dislikes?
Too many people can't accept that fact that this was reality, and that that these people went through a lot.
There are still, sadly, a few too many people who are in denial about the truth - then as now, but I'm encouraged that others will be educated by this film, as I have been!
Bless those people. We had our own civil rights struggles in Ireland at that time with the British police that ended up going very wrong too. There was 'rivers of blood' for 50 years until they started treating us properly. Such a waste of life but we're getting there now thank god.
Looks like a good watch
I agree, looking for an insomnia cure.
When protesting against the police actually mattered. Not like these useless riots today
There not useless it still counts
Lol. they said the same thing back then.
@@startarlu1009 uh no the non George Soros actual Black Lives Matter of the 1970's was anti Margaret Sanger's eugenics KKK Planned Parenthood. You think George Soros pro Margaret Sanger's eugenics KKK Planned Parenthood All White Black Lies Matter is the same as the legit non Deep State funded movement in this movie? Bless your heart. Note, no Black owned businesses were destroyed by the 1970's non George Soros organization and movement in this movie.
@@pmanzn the non Deep State approved All White Black Lies Matter movement wasn't destroying Black communities and businesses across the country. Note the Non George Soros organization is Anti Margaret Sanger's Black Holocaust eugenics KKK Planned Parenthood. George Soros all White Black Lies Matter are Planned Parenthood biggest supporter. Don't insult the legitimate Black owned grassroots organization by linking them with George Soros and the Deep State pro Margaret Sanger's eugenics KKK Planned Parenthood, pro Bill Gates unsafe vaccines All White Black Lies Matter.
I hope it ends soon 😣
Sadly racism will not end soon - if ever. But hopefully films like this will educate more people about what happened, and still happens, and I'm sure some minds will be changed. So pass it on, share it!
Hi, Have a wonderful weekend, greetings ❤💋
i love the fact that a history piece (based on events not too long ago) that happens to have an all black cast on your precious bbc has so many people triggered in comment section, saying that its to divide us lol naa mate it's just history (recent at that) but thanks for showing your true selves lol 🙏 now give me your tears so i can boil the water and make tea lol
People are expected to pay for this shite though. Would you pay the BBC £157.50 for crap like this? It was only a few weeks ago some female "comedian" on the BBC was making jokes (she wasn't joking) about killing white people. Why would white people want to give the beeb £157.50? Where's the white comedians on the BBC making jokes about killing bame people? Its cultural Marxist dog shite. How many black folks work in the top management jobs at the BBC?
hahaha!!
@@Tony-1971 I'm sad for your ignorance, and even sadder for the fact that you don't even WANT to know the truth of what happened in 1971, or since. Luckily, films like educate a lot of people, and reduce the numbers of racists. Isn't it great that the trial judge found them innocent and resisted the Conservative establishment?
What comments, where?? I didn't see any comments about this film dividing us - there are fewer ignorant people around, specially with films like this to educate us. I think it unites us, showing how British justice ruled against establishment racism and brutality. We can't get rid of nasty behaviour by the powers that be, or racism in society, by sweeping it under the carpet for fear of upsetting people.
@@PeterOzanne
Nobody with a brain watches the biased, Marxist BBC. Thats just my opinion.
And with this being a free country and all, i'm free to hate whoever i want to hate. And i am not racist either. I hate everyone equally.
🙊
African or Indian?
Why the pigs head
It was a reference to how people saw the police during the 1970s to the 1990s. It is a demeaning name to police
I will never apologize or feel sad for something that happened 200 years ago
it still happens today, please try to educate yourself on the struggles of black british people
get over yourself nobody is asking you to do neither of those things, it's a show based on history (this event was around 50 yrs ago). sounds like you just have a problem with an all black cast on your precious bbc channel lol get a grip
Exactly we have no control over that shit
@@Mr.Obongo yea you do
Ok you won’t even feel sad for all the black innocent people that died ? Then your just a wicked person pick up a book you might learn something
Hugely disappointed, BBC. I thought you meant the American Steve McQueen...
Turns out he's dead, my day's ruined now
boohoo ;-) No interest in history, people, society, justice? Never mind ;-) It's a great true story, and uplifting actually.
The only problem I have with this is due to the recent riots which were essentially covered up in favour of the rioters, kind of sets a darkness over it (no pun intended)
The Black Panther Movement was and is American. There's no such thing as a UK version. Wherever there's an African American accomplishment, there's a black British clout chaser seeking an opportunity to get attention. This is proof!
Loool go read a history book before you open your mouth
@@DonInADress I don't need to. My grandparents are from Oakland and they were a part of the ORIGINAL Black Panther movement. You know, the one that the US government stomped out with violence and drugs? The one that bb's ripped off six years later after they watched it on tv. I won't dignify clout chasing by reading about it. This little commercial is insulting enough.
@@thecass4954 you’re lost mate. Why be so indignation against people who share in your struggles. A house divided cannot stand. Stay stupid then
@@DonInADress Because the pain of MY people isn't a fashion statement for yours to put on for clout. The last time I checked 400 years of slavery, segregation and Jim Crow Laws happened in America. Not to mention a civil war for our freedom, being terrorized by the KKK and entire black neighborhoods being burned to the ground. None of those things EVER happened in the UK. You are not in my house and you do not share in my pain just because you think African Americans are cool. You are not entitled to be a part of what we've been through over here just because of your skin color. You chose to move there and you have your African name and culture in tact. We don't. Those things were stolen from us. We're very united over here, thank you very much. It takes real strength to start the Black Panthers and Black Lives Matter. Copying it and playing pretend is easy. You would know that better than anyone.
@@thecass4954 you’re assumptions about why black British people are in the UK is so warped it disgusting.
This story is of Black British Caribbean’s who also were slaves and after slavery were under colonial rule just like Black Britons from Africa. Colonial rule was not pleasant and was not freedom by any stretch of the imagination. They didn’t just come to the UK for fun they were sold lies about freedom, jobs to help build the so called Commonwealth and then treated as less than dogs when they arrived.
Go read and investigate as opposed to making assertions about who we are and what was endured. Many of our leaders collaborated and stood with leaders in America because they could see the similarities and the affinity that you fail to see.
How dare you say this is fashion statement for us. We’ve endured EDL, National front, systematics oppression, our traditions heritage and legacy burned to the ground and much abuse too.
Does it give you pleasure to assert that we haven’t struggled in exactly the same ways? Is oppression a sport or an injustice. If it’s the later then wherever it exists the oppressed have a responsibility to see the humanity amongst each other.
Educate yourself
Might as well just make a channel named 'For the angry black folk', take the bait, stay in the past divided if you want.
it's still happening now! I think you should watch this, and do some reading - now's the time to learn about the real struggles of black british people
@@keziahckeeler @K K There's nothing to read up on that hasn't already been read. Ignorance, racism and division has been around since society took it's first steps and it will be around long after we're gone, mainly in part due to the pack mentality, anything different is treated different, it's the duality of mankind, reason and instinct, jekyll and hyde. Everyone does it, every race, there's no special treatment and it's futility to howl at people trying to force them into caring about an issue that isn't thier primary problem in life. People know, but you can't expect everyone to drop everything and put the world on hold. You live in the real world not some utopian fairytale, unfortunately no matter the level of understanding and education it will never change the cardinal rule of the world, that is power is power, domination or subjugation. And while racism exists and is fueled on all sides the dominant society makes the terms, people can play victim, but that delusion is only ever awarded with subjugation. When people stop caring about such a trivial issue and it becomes a non factor, that's when powers that be take notice.
@@MrEvilcannibal just watch it einstein
Sounds like you're envious that there is someone who doesn't give a damn about what racists will think about him, as he gives us the other side of history; the kind people like you thought 'didn't exist'.
@@vexdup949 I respect the man for fighting against systemic persecution and subjugation, however I wouldn't make the myopic leap in logic of being envious of the man and the events surrounding his life, I'm not a masochist. And what do you mean 'people like you', is that an assumption of my character? My views? My race? You want to hold yourself above 'these people', yet you're the same, dehumanizing and discriminating against individuals and by proxy groups of people.
Also it's not history, it's his filtered version of history being taught. The unfortunate thing is I' am well aware of the black-anglo history and evolving culture, both it's triumphs and nadirs throughout, what's more disheartening is seeing people like yourself, learning nothing but division and hatred, being used by movements like BLM as media bait for ratings, funneling donations through IDEX accounting into private accounts all while saying 'it's this races fault, blame them' and because you only see half of the picture (or you only want to for convenience or some messiah complex), you do as your told by a bunch of uncle toms who are being payed to tell you who to hate.
And so you all act like racists because it's what you're told to do, because being part of the problem will somehow solve the problem... Everyone's ancestors must be rolling in their grave right now.
2nd,
Just keep looking back , and get angry and go nowhere 🇬🇧
it's still happening now! please think about trying to educate yourself on the struggles of black british people
In the same way that you probably take time out of a Sunday in November to remember the war, black people are and will continue to look back at the past that has been so painful for us.
Surely you don't think that it's better to be ignorant of what happened in 1971, or even what happens in 2021? For fear of getting angry and "triggered"? Actually - if you know the whole "Mangrove" timeline - it's a unifying story that takes us forward with LESS anger, because it shows a case where the British Legal System did the right thing by people who had been racially attacked by the police. Isn't that uplifting, hopeful going FORWARD?!
big black channel
Do you think everything on the bbc should show only white people then?
Naming your black child Steve Mcqueen is cultural appropriation.
Steve or Stephen derives from Christianity, and you do realise that McQueen won't have been his ancestors name right? You're a clown.
Plus, the name Stephen/Steve doesn't belong to 1 particular culture moron.
@@Alex-sh2nd it’s offensive and racist.
@@thelasttaarakian If you're offended by a black man being called Steve you're a snowflake, and please go and look at the definition of racism.
@@thelasttaarakian Also, Western names were forced on to slaves, stripping then of their own identity. Your point has no validity, and you are very ignorant.
