[elleng]

which tells the story of Vivien Epstein, a young Jewish woman played by Aggi O’Casey in her first television role. After falling in love with a member of the ‘62 Group, she rejects her comfortable middle-class life in Manchester and joins the fight against fascism in London, risking everything for her beliefs and for the man she loves. Inspired by true events, Ridley Road follows Vivien as she goes undercover into the NSM, a neo-Nazi movement which was becoming increasingly prominent in London at the time.

Ridley Road airs Sunday, May 1 at 9pm on WETA PBS (Ch 26) or stream with the free PBS video app.
