Noughts + Crosses- Trailer

Noughts + Crosses- Plot

The series is set in modern-day London in an alternate past in which various nations from (what is now known as) West Africa merged to establish the solid African Empire, which colonized Europe 700 years ago.

After a struggle known as the Great World War, the power of Europe was split between rival African groups, with the Malian Empire and the Moors controlling continental Europe. In contrast, the African Empire controlled Albion (Great Britain and Ireland) and portions of Scandinavia. Although their national boundaries have been pushed back since the Great War, Russia and the Balkans are still battling the African colonizers. The Ottoman Empire, which controls areas of East Asia, also exists.

Albion looks like an independent state with its own (Cross) PM and executive leadership, a Cross-only police force, and a military that recently agreed that they would employ some of the talented Noughts. It is, however, still answerable to the African Empire, which is situated on the African continent. As of 1950, the colony’s racial discrimination was strictly enforced between individuals of rich African heritage (known as Crosses or daggers) and the lower local Europeans (known as Noughts or blankers).
