So excited to begin casting on this amazing project of ours. Please share far and wide! ☺️

Saw all 3 eps. It was bitter memory, communal therapy and reclaimed history. Hope #Defiance team know by the outpouring of emotions on here what an overdue landmark series this is. Essential viewing. Keep telling the untold stories. shaminder nahal Rajesh Thind Riz Ahmed ✊🏾

Why this is not just history, but a story of now #Defiance #Southall #BlairPeach

342 anti-fascists charged…yet no (police officer) charged for killing Blair Peach! #Defiance

Our contributor Avtar Brah describes movingly how Blair Peach, killed in the Southall protest, was lain in his coffin in the Dominion cinema - 8000 people filed past to pay respects 12 June 1979 #Defiance

“The police … protected them and unleashed violence on us” our contributor Pritpal recollects the moment the National Front arrived at #Southall Town Hall on the day of the protest #Defiance @channel4 a seminal chapter in British history

Blair Peach, a teacher, was struck on the head as police charged at him and others in ‘79. A Met Police report, released in 2010, concluded Peach was “almost certainly” killed by one of six Special Patrol Group officers. Nobody has ever been charged with his death #Defiance

Heroic campaign by Blair's family & friends, the killer was never caught. 40 years on, Balwinder Rana, featured tonight, spoke at the spot where Blair was killed, as part of Southall Resists events.
Blair's friend, Jo Lang & Clarence also feature.
Very moving footage...Blair's

The quality of #Defiance Channel 4 is obviously due to the brilliant filmmakers, but having a HOD from the same community powerful enough to defend it’s authenticity feels instrumental, judging by her tweets this felt beautifully personal& proves that cultural specificity is key

Tonight at 10pm - an unmissable episode #Defiance #BlairPeach

The Met protected fascists and murdered teacher and activist Blair Peach. Then their #spycops targeted his friends and his partner, the amazing Celia Stubbs.

#Defiance

There’s something elegiac about #Defiance . Uplifting stories of fighting racism together but also a lament for a feeling of brotherhood and sisterhood across the Asian community that jus don’t exist today. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…

I'm running a diversity and inclusion training session today at a company in London. Sad to say that not a single person had even heard about the Channel 4 show last night. We need everyone to watch this. #Defiance Rajesh Thind Riz Ahmed Rogan Productions
