GUERRILLA Miniseries Trailers, Clips, Featurette, Images and Poster

Written and directed by John Ridley ("12 Years a Slave") and Sam Miller ("No Good Deed"), the six-episode miniseries "Guerrilla" is set in 1970s London during one of the most explosive times in U.K. history, and it follows a group of activists who set out to free a political prisoner and form a resistance movement.

The cast features Idris Elba, Freida Pinto, Babou Ceesay, Wunmi Mosaku, Giorgio Spiegefeld, Patrick Gibson and Zawe Ashton. The series has attracted some controversy due to the fact that the filmmakers allegedly downplayed the historical role of black female activists and cast and Indian actress (Pinto) in the lead role, accusations that have been rejected by early British Black Panther members Farrukh Dhondy and Neil Kenlock. Dhondy was a consultant on the show along with Darcus Howe.

"Guerrilla" premiered in the U.S. on April 16th, 2017 and the U.K. on April 13th. The miniseries received generally positive reviews from critics.
