Saira Khan opened up a typical convenience store in the small town of Langley Mills, near Nottingham, a town renowned for its extreme right-wing groups.
But this was a shop with a difference. Hidden cameras jostled with the soup cans, doors were reinforced and upstairs lurked a burly minder.
Saira then posed as a shopkeeper for 12 weeks to film the racial abuse she received.
She didn't need to call on her minder, but verbal abuse, stones hurled through windows and rubbish being thrown at the shop, were regular incidents.
Saira talks to Jenni about her experiences.
Sleepers will be shown on Channel 4 tonight at 9pm.
