Redemption Man

Season 2, Ep. 4

Redemption Man is a six-part audio documentary about the mysterious man who has been seen carrying a large white cross throughout West London for almost 35 years. Then he disappeared.


So, who was Redemption Man?


The series uncovers the life and legacy of the Redemption Man, illuminating lesser-known yet crucial aspects of black history in London post-Windrush. It also unravels the mystery of one of those local figures that many encounter fleetingly and then vanish.

What can his life tell us about our own?
