It was a period of great racial tension. Yet when Bradford youths sought to defend their community from a potential racist incursion, 12 found themselves arrested, locked up and facing life imprisonment.

Their courtroom success established the right to organise self-defence. Over 40 years on a documentary about the experiences of the Bradford 12 is set for release later this year.
