Abused and ridiculed first for his colour, then his religion and finally for his sexuality, life was never easy for Justin Fashanu.

Meticulously researched and drawing upon exclusive interviews and never before seen documents and photographs NICK BAKER'S sensitive but brutally candid portrait reveals the truth behind this troubled soul, his untimely death and sensationally names the people who were to blame for it.
