Black Earth Rising

DVD, Monday 5 November The phenomenally good Michaela Coel plays Kate, rescued as a child from a mass grave during the Rwandan genocide and adopted by Eve Ashby (Harriet Walter), a renowned British prosecutor in international law. Now, mother and daughter are pitted against each other when Eve takes on a case prosecuting an African militia leader. Writer/director Hugo Blick’s complex eight-part drama makes for an intense, gripping binge, with a juicy role for John Goodman. HHHH Boyd Hilton
