- The shocking death of 10-year-old Damilola Taylor in 2000 saw an innocent schoolboy lose his life on the streets of London. In front of the world's media, his parents embarked on a grueling path to find justice--but behind closed doors, how could their love survive such private grief?
- In August 2000 British-educated Richard Taylor, an official in the Nigerian ministry in Lagos, is opposed to his wife Gloria taking their 10-year-old son Damilola with his older brother Tunde and sister Gdeni, who needs treatment for her epilepsy, but he ultimately gives in. Having been denied a council house, Gloria and her children live with an aunt on a rough estate and Damilola is bullied at school but finds an outlet in the local library's computer club. One November afternoon, Damilola is stabbed and left to die, and when Richard arrives in England he is angry with the family, especially Tunde for not protecting his brother. Ultimately, two brothers are convicted and sent to youth custody but it takes Richard, channeling his rage into establishing a charitable trust for unprivileged youngsters, several years to reunite with the family at Tunde's graduation. A final credit reveals a grim statistic.—don @ minifie-1
