Taking Liberties: A Black and White Story

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Last in the series.

The charge of racism destroys lives. It happened to Bernard Crofton, the director of housing at Hackney Council in London. It also happened to Dennis Bartholomew, head of the council's race unit. Crofton is white. Bartholomew is black. Both were fighting corruption when charges of racism were levelled against them. Both lost their jobs and their reputations. John Ware investigates the morality of town hall politics and exposes the cynical cries of racism.
