About After Eight

Despite Britain’s curry houses serving the nation’s favourite cuisine, they have often served as backdrops for racism and violence.

In 1986 Satpal Ram was assaulted in a racially motivated attack at an Indian restaurant. Stabbed in the face with a glass bottle, he defended himself, sparking a chain of events that would shape his life.

After Eight delves into the injustices of his trial, exposing biases and systemic shortcomings that led to a murder conviction despite clear evidence of self-defence. Through interviews, archival footage, and personal accounts, the documentary chronicles a decades-long global campaign for Satpal Ram’s freedom.
