S1/E5 Jimi Jagne & the Toxteth uprisings (part 1)

In the first of two episodes, Jimi discusses the origins of the Toxeth uprisings through childhood experiences of violent racism inflicted by the police and white people in Liverpool. Shelda asserts that these tensions are still pertinent in Liverpool today.
