- Summary:
- This gripping and immersive drama was Britain's first feature to be written and directed by a Black filmmaker, and the first to fully focus on the perspective of Black characters. Horace Ové and novelist Sam Selvon's gritty script centers on teenage Tony (Herbert Norville), caught between his Trinidadian parents' (Lucita Lijertwood, Frank Singuineau) desire to attain middle-class respectability in London and his older brother Colin's (Oscar James) urging to join the Black Power movement
