Steve McQueen’s latest film, based on a true story, looks back on the revolt of a black activist group in the British capital during the 1970s.Steve McQueen’s latest film “Mangrove” opened the London Film Festival on Wednesday, with the Oscar-winning UK director calling it a “love letter to black resilience”.
McQueen — the first black director to win the best picture Academy Award in 2014 for “12 Years a Slave” — said making the anthology was “a celebration of all that that community has succeeded in achieving against the odds”. It features films and documentaries from over 40 countries, closing with Francis Lee’s biopic of the 19th-century paleontologist Mary Anning, “Ammonite”, starring Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan.McQueen’s “Small Axe” series, 11 years in the making and named after a West Indian proverb meaning “together we are strong”, will begin to air in November in Britain on the BBC and in the United States on Amazon Prime Video.
The films also arrive against the global backdrop of the Black Lives Matter protests sparked by the death in US police custody of an unarmed black man, George Floyd.
