Mangrove
The Mangrove began as a cafe. But now it is much more. It is a focal point for one of Britain's oldest black communities, with a history central to the growth of black politics and resistance to racism. The people who have made the Mangrove what it is live on the 'front line' in All Saints Road in London's
Notting Hill, a tense inner city confrontation zone between police and black people. This film, made by The Mangrove Community
Association, examines the impact of policing on the area against the troubled background of race riots in the 1950s, through to the nationwide explosions of anger in the 1980s.
Film cameraman ROY CORNWALL Film editor ROLAND TONGUE
Executive producer TONY LARYEA Producer GILES OAKLEY
Director SAM BERRISFORD
Made by The Mangrove Community Association with the help of the BBC Community Programme Unit.

'He's drinking a lot - but thank God he's not taking drugs.'
Alcohol is a drug. It's a legal drug, and, in moderate doses, it's a very nice drug. But it's also a drug that kills many more people than illegal drugs like heroin - according to some estimates, 100 times as many. Health experts say alcohol is a drug that's out of control: it's too cheap and too easily available - particularly to the young.
David Henshaw reports on the boom in booze, and asks why a government so keen to control heroin has failed to face up to the dangers of alcohol. Researchers

A series of films on the way we live now.
Dancing in the Rain
To the boarding-houses of Blackpool, buffeted by howling winds and high seas, come 700 hopeful couples with one thing in common - a passion for dancing.
Competing in the most important ballroom dancing championships of the year are a 6ft 4in plumber, a 56-year-old gas fitter, a well-proportioned secretary from the Ministry of Defence, two shop assistants from a smart London store, and a teenage couple still at school. They're all tough, fit and determined; prepared to sacrifice all for a sport that can cost well over E3,000 a year.
It is an evening of excitement, tension and humour in which much is at stake, with moments of high drama for couples who, for a whole year, have dreamt about 'winning at Blackpool'. Narrator Ian Holm
