Steve McQueen
Mary talks to award-winning filmmaker and Turner Prize winning artist Steve McQueen, discussing his views on growing up in London and his Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One anthology series Small Axe.
Mary is in the company of award-winning filmmaker and Turner Prize winning artist Steve McQueen. His films, including Hunger, Shame and the Oscar-winning 12 Years a Slave, reveal a director who wants to tell powerful stories that have not been heard, focusing on those who rarely get a voice. In a long conversation that is both personal and political, Mary and Steve discuss his views on growing up in London, and his new Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One anthology series Small Axe. Set from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s, each film tells a different story involving racism and discrimination in London's West Indian community.
