Standout episodes

Mangrove2020-11-15

The first film reconstructs the 1970 prosecution of nine Black activists who fought back against police harassment of the Mangrove restaurant in Notting Hill. McQueen delivers a courtroom drama that burns with documented injustice and finds unexpected grace in collective refusal.

9.3

Lovers Rock2020-11-22

A single night at a blues dance in 1980 - Michaela Coel, Amarah-Jae St. Aubyn, and an ensemble of bodies move together in a film that is less a narrative than a sustained act of joy. Sight and Sound named it the best film of the year.
