PBS Western Reserve Passport Pick

Masterpiece, Ridley Road

Summer 1962: London is swinging with new music, hip fashions, and an irresistibly hedonistic spirit. It’s also simmering with antisemitic cruelty incited by homegrown neo-Nazis — a fascinating slice of very real British history. Agnes O’Casey (The Miracle Club) stars as scrappy Vivien Epstein, a young Jewish hairdresser who fits right into London’s mod scene, while secretly infiltrating the British neo-Nazi hierarchy on behalf of an undercover antifascist group. She’s joined by Rory Kinnear (The Diplomat, The Imitation Game) as Colin Jordan, the historic leader of Britain’s post-World War II Nazi movement. The cast also includes Samantha Spiro (Sex Education), Eddie Marsan (Happy-Go-Lucky), Tracy-Ann Oberman (Friday Night Dinner), and Tom Varey (Dark Angel), among others.
