Jack Morris (TOM VAREY) & Vivien Epstein (AGNES O'CASEY)

Summer 1962: London is swinging with new music, hip fashions, and an irresistible hedonistic spirit.

It’s also seething with antisemitic violence incited by homegrown neo-Nazis.

Masterpiece presents a riveting four-part drama set in this colorful but tumultuous time on Ridley Road, based on Jo Bloom’s acclaimed novel.

Inspired by true events, Ridley Road stars newcomer Agnes O’Casey as Vivien Epstein, a young Jewish hairdresser who fits right into London’s mod scene, while secretly infiltrating the British neo-Nazi hierarchy on behalf of Jewish antifascists, Rory Kinnear as Colin Jordan, the real-life leader of Britain’s post-World War II Nazi movement, and Tom Varey as Jack, Vivien’s true love.

All four episodes in this drama mini-series are available for you to stream right now on WITF Passport.
