Just 4 days left to apply! This is a brilliant opportunity open to women & nb people from a South Asian background to work with Milli Bhatia 🤩

Saw all 3 eps. It was bitter memory, communal therapy and reclaimed history. Hope #Defiance team know by the outpouring of emotions on here what an overdue landmark series this is. Essential viewing. Keep telling the untold stories. shaminder nahal Rajesh Thind Riz Ahmed ✊🏾

A new series looks at when British Asians fought back against racist violence in 1976-1981.

Actor Riz Ahmed, who co-produced Defiance - Fighting the Far Right, talks to Mishal Husain about the 'eye-opening' events.

The irony of those clutching their pearls-when Romeo and Juliet is a play about mindless knee-jerk prejudice and its inevitable consequences. Spoiler alert-it never ends well. All power to The Jamie Lloyd Co and his team. (I've worked with him-he's amazing-and this is going to be 🔥)

Emotional and uplifting attending the launch of Channel 4 series #Defiance Whitechapel Gallery gallery last night. We truly stand on the shoulders of those giants who stood together to fight the far right. Huge congratulations shaminder nahal Rajesh Thind and their team.

This is disgusting! They’re trying to do as much damage to this country as they can before being kicked out at the next election. Creative arts courses at English universities face funding cut theguardian.com/education/2024…

Spread the word and make a date to watch this landmark series. New uncovered history for some people, lived history for many others. So glad these stories are finally being shared.

Thanks so much for coming Rajesh Thind and to everyone who ventured out on a rainy Friday night to BAFTA to support and share experiences. Pics to follow soon!

Why am I getting home to read that even more disrespect was heaped upon Diane Abbott MP’s already heavy head today?
They ignored her while she stood right there, and discussed her without allowing her to even speak?! WTAF?!

The traditional table read this morning. With traditional untouched bowl of fruit placed in front of us. The choc chip cookies and sweet stuff placed too far for us to reach them. Super exciting to meet the excellent cast and raring to go! #Unforgotten6 🙏🏾🎒❤️

We are over the moon that our production Blue Mist by Mohamed-Zain Dada, directed by Milli Bhatia, has been nominated for the Olivier Awards 2024 for Outstanding Achievement in Affiliate Theatre✨

For some, Mothers' day can be a bitter sweet occasion for many reasons. For our family, it's the first one without our beloved mama and grandma. Hold onto the memories-and to her if you have her-and know that the love endures.

“When I heard, ‘You can’t do that, you’re a girl,’ I went ahead and did it anyway.”

Happy #InternationalWomensDay
