The ‘authentic’ black British experience doesn’t begin and end in the capital. It’s time the UK film industry woke up to that
Small Axe is a giant leap forward for black British film-making: five films made by the most celebrated British director of his generation going out at primetime on BBC One. I, along with many others, have appreciated every second, partly because I know a camera has never been allowed to linger on the black British experience like this.
