A groundbreaking and thoughtful documentary made by Black Audio Film Collective in 1986 that examines elements of the Black experience in Britain at the time of the Handsworth riots of 1985. The film charts the death and funeral of Cynthia Jarrett, and the – seemingly – ever downward path of race relations, brought to a head by the deteriorating economic plight of Britain in the '80s. The film uses a range of archive material, interviews, and filmed records of the disturbances from sources such as Birmingham Central Library, the BBC, and British Movietonenews Ltd. The screening will be introduced by curator and archivist Eddie Chambers.
