Five original films, set between 1969 and 1982, celebrate the courage and solidarity of London's West Indian community. From a group of activists taking on a seemingly hopeless battle against police persecution, to a teenager experiencing a blues party full of dance, danger and romance, they're a powerful reminder of how brave individuals can spark change.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

review of mangrove submitted by pmheard on June 9, 2023, 11:20am “we might’ve won the battle frank, but we’ll see about the war.”

as a black woman, films like mangrove really ignite and fuel my sense of pride for the black community. worldwide, battles such as these continue to be fought every day, and i know this because i experience it firsthand. this film reminded me that there is power within the people and we shall not go dismissed.

steve mcqueen produced an excellent piece of art here. i have never felt so enraged, captivated, and empowered in a viewing before. mangrove reminds and educates us of a dark history of racism and prejudice, and those who fought for the rights we enjoy today. it’s vital we remember stories like these, and do not take them lightly.
