About
In 1970s Notting Hill, Tony, the British-born son of Trinidadian immigrants, is caught between his parents' conformity and his brother's Black Power activism.
Set in 1970s Notting Hill, Pressure follows Tony, played by Herbert Norville, a Black British teenager who was born and raised in Britain. His mother, father and older brother were born in Trinidad, and their views on the society they live in differ from his.
Tony's mother argues that the family should work hard, keep to itself and respect the laws of white people, who hold power. His brother is active in the Black Power movement and speaks about the second-class treatment of black people and systemic racism. Tony is a bright school-leaver caught between his parents' church-going conformity and his brother's militancy.
