series New Voices in Black Cinema
Directed by Destiny Ekaragha | 2015
With Kascion Franklin, Cecilia Noble, Lenny Henry
Written by British comedian Lenny Henry, this loosely autobiographical BBC production is a hilarious and insightful look at how a black entertainer found his voice in a predominantly white industry. Danny (Franklin) is a working-class teen growing up in a Jamaican family in 1970s Britain. His knack for impressions wins attention on the stand-up circuit—but he must stand up to racism on his rise to the top.
