Description

In this timely episode of Guerrilla History, Adnan discusses Defiance: Fighting the Far Right w/ Rajesh Thind, a director & producer of the three part Channel 4 documentary series produced by Rogan Productions in association with Riz Ahmed’s Lefthanded Films. The series is an immersive social history that brings the South Asian activists who combatted and organized successfully against far right racist and anti-immigrant violence in the 1970s & early 1980s to our screens.  Exclusive to Guerrilla History, one of those veteran activists Shahnaz Ali joined the conversation to talk about her experiences organizing in the late 1970’s and 80’s in Bradford, and since then, fighting for equality and justice in UK society and the National Health Service specifically. This history is incredibly relevant for the resurgence of far right violence and rioting being witnessed right now on city streets across the UK.
