We shine a light on breakthrough performances from Black British actors who went on to achieve stardom and recognition for their performances on screen. All of the performers we are focusing on emerged at a key time for British cinema and have gone on to make their mark on the cultural landscape.
Part of the BFI Black Star season, taking place UK-wide, supported by Film Hub North West Central, part of the Film Audience Network, awarding funds from the National Lottery.
