What’s Black Power Desk About?

Set in 1970s London, at a time of political unrest and cultural transformation, Black Power Desk follows two sisters caught between family bonds, community struggles, and the covert operations of the Black Power Desk inside New Scotland Yard.

As the streets pulse with the rise of sound system culture and the birth of lover’s rock, a new musical voice emerges, blending RnB and reggae with the soundtrack of resistance. Inspired by the real-life events of the Mangrove Nine, this story is a stirring portrait of a community fighting back against injustice — and the price two sisters may pay for that fight.

With a live three-piece band delivering an electrifying original score, Black Power Desk offers a deeply personal lens on one of Britain’s most overlooked yet defining eras.
