Strikers of Hanbury Street, and other East End Tales

Strikers of Hanbury Street, and other East End Tales

Two Jewish boys picket a mean neighbour to get their ball back; a Bangladeshi man is desperate for a business plan; a black woman is fearful she will lose her job when she loses her childminder; a boy and girl-next-door find love in an air-raid; a middle class woman goes back to the council estate of her childhood; a racist youth and a black boatman are stranded on an island; the mother of a criminal family pins all her hopes on her youngest son.

These simply told tales of East End life speak of pain and despair, survival and hope.
