Stephen — Season 1

Director Paul Greengrass's 1999 dramatisation of Doreen and Neville Lawrence's struggle to bring their 18-year-old son's killers to justice, exposing the flaws in the system that had failed them.

The killing of George Floyd in the US triggered global protests, with thousands also taking to the streets in Britain. In light of these events, Rageh Omaar and Anushka Asthana host this live debate to examine racial equality in the UK. They discuss how much has changed in Britain almost three decades after the racist murder of teenager Stephen Lawrence.

Thirteen years after their son's racially motivated murder in 1993, Doreen and Neville Lawrence continue their fight for justice. Meanwhile, DCI Clive Driscoll finds Stephen's files and is convinced the cold case can be solved, despite opposition from within the police.

DCI Driscoll tries to win the trust of the Lawrence family and key witnesses, while after a forensic breakthrough, the team needs to prove the integrity of the evidence before they can make arrests.

Gary Dobson and David Norris stand trial for Stephen's murder. The defence argue that potential cross contamination in the years since the murder makes forensic evidence unsafe.
