Description
In 1930s London, life in the streets of Stepney is tough. Elsie and her brother Mikey face challenges in their home, but the rise of antisemitic fascist Oswald Mosley and his Blackshirts brings even greater turmoil to their community. As tensions escalate, friendships are torn apart and Elsie witnesses firsthand the devastating effects of hatred on families who have lived together for years. A dramatic confrontation unfolds at Cable Street, where people stand up against the fascists and their ideology. Tanya Landman's gripping story sheds light on a pivotal moment in history, exploring themes of prejudice, racism, and community resilience.
