It stars Lashana Lynch, Tosin Cole, Carmen Munroe, Danny Sapani, Nadine Marshall, Arinzé Kene and Jade Anouka. Like the play, the characters are anonymous members of anonymous British and American families, telling their stories of the racial injustice experienced by Black citizens;[2] in the play, they are simply identified as Mom, Dad, Woman and so on, though the film credits add UK or US to these identifiers.[3]
