John Boyega Explains Why Steve McQueen Is a Special Filmmaker
Dec 18 2020
One of the best set of films I’ve seen in 2020 was director Steve McQueen’s (Hunger, 12 Years A Slave) anthology series Small Axe. The five original films - Mangrove, Lovers Rock, Alex Wheatle, Education, and Red, White and Blue - take place between the late 1960s to the mid-1980s, and each one tells a personal story from London's West Indian community, whose lives have been shaped by their own force of will despite rampant racism and discrimination.
