The story behind Handsworth's Strikers In Saris

You'll find the mural called "Strikers In Saris" all along Soho Bridge in Handsworth.

It pays tribute to the South Asian communities battle in the 1970's for fair pay and equal working rights.

British Asian magazine DESIblitz commissioned the work and brought in Pakistani artist Haider Ali, from Karachi to design and create the mural.

Reporter Warren Moore went to find out more about the creation and the history of the strike itself.
