Through testimony from the children, archival footage, and documents from the time, the film reveals this shocking example of discrimination in the UK's education system and its devastating impact on the lives of those affected. The film is a powerful call to action, highlighting the bravery of those who fought against this injustice and the need for continued vigilance in the fight for equality.
