New film ‘Community: Becoming Black and British’ premieres in Bristol
Directed by Euella Jackson, Community: Becoming Black and British “shines a light on the lived experiences of Black communities across the UK and the positive influence of community organisations and youth leaders.”
Euella describes the film as “a love letter to Bristol’s black community, particularly my parents’ generation, who played a major role in putting Bristol on the world’s stage and making the city feel like home.”
