This puts Leroy squarely in the crossfire between the corrupt, structurally racist police system and the suspicious West Indian London community that has been terrorized by police for years.<\/p>\n<p>In my review for\u00a0<em>Red, White and Blue<\/em> at the virtual New York Film Festival, I called the drama the \u201cmost challenging\u201d of McQueen\u2019s\u00a0<em>Small Axe<\/em> films, \u201ca difficult, oftentimes bleak, reflection of the Sisyphean fight for racial equality with Boyega at the center as that mythic figure fruitlessly rolling the boulder up the mountain.\u201d The film can often almost punishing in its refusal to give viewers easy answers, but it\u2019s one that feels so extremely urgent for its unfortunate timeliness \u2014 not only of Boyega\u2019s real-life activism on the unfair treatment of Black actors in Hollywood, but for the ongoing Black Lives Matter movement and its issues with police brutality, which the actor has been outspoken on as well.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the synopsis for\u00a0<em>Red, White and Blue<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Red, White and Blue\u00a0tells the true story of Leroy Logan, a young forensic scientist with a yearning to do more than his solitary laboratory work. When he sees his father assaulted by two policemen, he finds himself driven to revisiting a childhood ambition to become a police officer; an ambition borne from the na\u00efve hope of wanting to change racist attitudes from within.
