ITV drama Stephen is set to air this week, set thirteen years after Stephen Lawrence was killed in a racially motivated attack.
The three part drama, set in 2006, is the sequel to the groundbreaking ITV drama, The Murder of Stephen Lawrence.
The drama tells the story of the ongoing struggle by Stephen's parents Doreen and Neville Lawrence to achieve justice.

Even though Doreen and Neville Lawrence knew the identity of their son’s killers, the original investigation had failed to convict those responsible.
Their extraordinary campaign for justice led to a public inquiry which branded the Metropolitan Police institutionally racist and brought about sweeping changes in the law and police practices and transformed thinking and understanding of racial inequality in the UK.
Yet six years on from the inquiry no progress had been made into the case
But DCI Clive Driscoll, working closely with the Lawrences, puts together an investigation that finally secures the convictions of two of the gang who committed the murder of Stephen.
The drama has an all star cast, with Sharlene Whyte, Steve Coogan and Hugh Quarshie playing starring roles.
Here's the full cast for the drama.
