Last Screened: Mon 11th May 2026

An anti-documentary directed by filmmaker Natacha Horn, who is also Tanita Tikaram’s wife, and a cinematic portrait that reveals the maverick music icon as never before.

Tikaram delivers, in her own words, a raw, political and personal account of life as a brown, queer woman growing up in the UK, echoing the themes of her new album LIAR (Love Isn’t A Right), the sequel to her multi-million selling debut Ancient Heart.

The screening on Monday the 11th of May was followed by a Q&A with director Natacha Horn and musician Tanita Tikaram. Hosted by Doc’n Roll’s Karen Shook.
