Ska & Reggae Classics
- Thread starter xmontrealer
- Start date
Just finished watching 5 movies directed by Steve McQueen (the British movie director, not the late actor) under the general search heading Small Axe. Imho all good, a couple great, with btw some good reggae in the soundtracks. Released in 2020.
Mostly different aspects of being Black in Britain in the late 1960's to mid-1980's, and suffering constant prejudice in general, and hostility and harassment from the police and judicial system in particular.
To view them I had to search the internet for sources for the movie files. Apparently they are available on Amazon Prime Video.
Here is a short trailer:
In one of the movies, "Alex Wheatle", the Jamaican accent is quite strong, but that one has subtitles to help out old white guys like me...
