Segun Akinola has composed the score to ‘Stephen’, a new three-part series for ITV, which focuses on the investigation into the racially motivated murder of Stephen Lawrence in 1993. The series stars Sharlene Whyte, Hugh Quarshie and Steve Coogan.
Set in 2006, ‘Stephen’ “tells the story of the ongoing struggle by Doreen and Neville Lawrence to achieve justice and how a detective, DCI Clive Driscoll – working closely with the Lawrences – puts together an investigation that finally – more than 18 years after his death – secures the convictions of two of the gang who committed the murder of Stephen”.
‘Stephen’ starts airing on ITV Monday 30th August at 9pm.
