“#Steve McQueen’s ‘Small Axe’ Tells Important Stories of Overcoming Discrimination<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Change comes in stirring stories of social<\/a> justice with Amazon’s Small Axe<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“Individually it’s very difficult, but in the collective you can be heard,” says director Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave<\/i>) about the power of people coming together.<\/p>\n

He weaves that theme<\/a> through this weekly anthology series<\/a> of five inspiring films, set in the late 1960s to mid-’80s, which tell important stories of London\u2019s West Indian community facing \u2014 and overcoming \u2014 discrimination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first of those films, Mangrove<\/i>, starring Black Panther<\/i>‘s Letitia Wright, recounts the landmark 1971 court case against the Mangrove 9. After a dozen police raids on the Mangrove, a Caribbean restaurant in Notting Hill, a series of peaceful protests began. When one turned violent, nine Black activists were charged with conspiracy to incite a riot.<\/p>\n

Following a 55-day trial, they were found not guilty. “That verdict was quite immense, for everybody<\/i> \u2014 [reinforcing] the freedom and right to demonstrate and congregate,” says McQueen. “I’m speaking with you today because of people who were completely hopeful about things getting done for a better tomorrow.”<\/p>\n
