A riveting feature documentary based on the ground-breaking new book by Pulitzer-Prize winner Samantha Power, Sergio will use the inspiring, rigorous and tragic life of Sergio Vieira de Mello, the UN envoy to Iraq who died in the first suicide bombing of the war, to engage the public in a conversation about the principles that should guide US foreign policy into the 21st Century. Vieira de Mello, a relatively unknown hero who deserves wider recognition, devoted his life to the ideals of diplomacy, security, the rule of law, and the fundamental right of people to live in dignity. Sergio is the story of the day those ideals came under attack, and why they must be preserved.

In 1981, twelve young Asian men in Bradford faced terrorism charges after defending their community from a violent racist skinhead attack. They made petrol bombs for self-defence. Known as the Bradford 12, by arming themselves, they took direct action to ward off the greater threat of skinhead violence. The state labelled them terrorists, but the people rallied behind the slogan, “Self-defence is no offence.” Their case exposed the intense racial tensions in Britain. Their arrest sparked fierce protests nationally and internationally, with thousands demanding justice for the Bradford 12. The lengthy, tense trial revealed a police force indifferent to racist violence, one that believed discrimination was necessary and had Special Branch surveillance on key defendants. Ultimately, the Bradford 12 were acquitted - a landmark victory affirming the right to organised armed self-defence for oppressed communities. Their courage and solidarity challenged systemic racism and continue to inspire the fight for justice. Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2026
