Plot Synopsis

From Academy Award winner John Ridley and executive produced by star Idris Elba, GUERRILLA is a six-part limited series that tells a love story set against the backdrop of one of the most politically explosive times in U.K. history. It tells the story of a couple whose relationship and values are tested when they liberate a political prisoner and form a radical underground cell in 1970s London. Their ultimate target becomes the Black Power Desk, a true-life, secretive counter-intelligence unit within the Special Branch dedicated to crushing all forms of black activism. While the series is set against a background of social and political activism, at its heart GUERRILLA is about a relationship under pressure, and the reality that for any couple there comes a point when the choices they make have real and lasting consequences. On Sunday, April 16, 2017 at 9pm ET/PT, Showtime aired the U.S. debut of GUERRILLA only three days its world premiere. The series opens in 1971 in an age of open racism, fervent nationalism and anti-establishment passion, as two politically engaged and idealistic lovers fight back against the injustice and prejudice they face on a daily basis.
