Nick Warburton - Oliver Park - The Easter Riots

One year on, what's the truth behind the West Trent tragedy?

Joe Sims (Broadchurch) stars in Nick Warburton's drama reflecting the themes of the Easter story in a modern setting.

The fictional story is told in documentary format, using interviews improvised by the cast of Emerald O'Hanrahan (The Archers), Sam Dale, Tracy Wiles, Arian Nik, Michael Imerson and Mark Dowd

Oliver Park, in the centre of West Trent, has become host to a camp for refugees, and a few splinter protest groups. A vigilante group, City Watch, has been established in response, and with a march planned by the camp supporters, tensions are high. Into this situation comes Carl Franklin, with a small group of followers and a radical but peaceful message. Events move quickly as an act of betrayal has terrible consequences.
