This weeks Film Club is about Inspirational films. It felt wrong to not address the growing movement across the UK and USA this week in support of Black Lives Matter. Therefore this week we would like to dedicate this Film Club to films that we find inspiring that are have been directed, produced or speak to the experiences of people of colour. Most of these films showcase uncomfortable truths and it is now more important than ever to recognise and educate ourselves on these issues. Below our Film Club we have included a reading list, documentary list and also links to petitions we feel are important.
Hidden Figures (2016)
Belle (2013)
Self Made (2020)
The Help (2011) & The Help Book (2009)
