In light of the recent events in the Black Lives Matter movement, we’ve put together a collection of films that reflect black history and help audiences to deepen their understanding of systemic racism. These films were all previously shown at HOME, but you can watch them online now, via BFI Player and mubi by following the links below.
Please note the connected events and discussions are all historic, this resource is solely for the purpose of directing you to films you can now watch online.
