Hardeep Singh Kohli meets the woman who broke-up a notorious South London gang through the power of faith, food and motherly love. In 2006 Pastor Mimi Asher discovered that her 13 year-old-son Michael had joined Brixton's "Organised Crime" gang. Violence was spiralling out-of-control on her estate, a crime-ridden no-go area nicknamed "Baghdad" and she feared a bleak outcome for her son. The journey that followed is an extraordinary story and it's a one Hardeep unravels as he arrives in Brixton to cook Punjabi goat curry for Pastor Mimi, her son Michael Adusei and former gang leader Karl Lokko.
Producer: Catherine Earlam.
