Extreme Hatred

A struggling fast-food worker is drawn into far-right violence in a powerful new drama

The BAFTA-winning team behind Murdered for Being Different return with a powerful one-off drama exploring the rise of the far-right in today’s ‘forgotten Britain’.

Set in a working-class Welsh community, The Left Behind (also available on BBC3 Online from 10am on Wed 10 July) follows young chicken-shop worker Gethin (Sion Daniel Young), who’s struggling to make ends meet on a zero-hours contract while living with his pregnant sister Annes (Aimee-Ffion Edwards).

With eviction looming and endless trips to the housing office proving fruitless, Gethin wants answers when a Muslim family moves into a neighbouring property that Annes says should have been given to them.
