Lenny looks at prospects for the future and talks to British director Steve McQueen, the first ever black film-maker to win an Academy Award for Best Picture. From November 2015.
In the last of his programmes tracing a century of black British theatre and screen, Lenny Henry explores the prospects for black British theatre and screen. He talks to black British film-director and creative artist Steve McQueen, who was the first ever black director to win an Academy Award for Best Picture - and who's also a proud winner of the Turner Prize for art. Lenny hears about Steve's new project for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ television, a grand sweeping story of an African Caribbean family growing up across three decades from the late 1960s.
Also taking part in this assessment of the future shape of their art are director and playwright Kwame Kwei-Armah, theatre director Michael Buffong and writer Roy Williams.
