Yorkshire Cop: Police, Racism and Me

This First Cut documentary tells the story of Bill Thomas, South Yorkshire's first black police officer, offering an insight into the endemic racism in Britain and particularly the police force at that time. His film-maker son, Alex, helps him revisit key historical events from the miners' strike to riots, as well as find people who made his life so difficult. Bill also reconnect with his allies: the black officers who helped him form Yorkshire's first black police union. (Prod/Dir: Alex Thomas) (Prod Co: Milk First)
