Focussing on race and racism in the UK, these docs to watch online cover recent events in British history, exploring stories behind the headlines.
Protests have gathered momentum across the UK in the last week, showing not just solidarity with the #BlackLivesMatter movement in the US, but calling out racisim in British society.
Last week we published a list of documentaries to watch online about civil rights and racism on both sides of the pond. We included George Amponsah’s The Hard Stop, which follows two friends of Mark Duggan in the years after his death, and The Stuart Hall Project, John Akomfrah’s study of the life and work of the cultural theorist – both are essential viewing.
There’s so much more to consider and to learn on our doorstep, so in the below list here we look exclusively at race and racism in the UK, and what it means to be black and British.
