Black Audio Film Collective’s 1986 Handsworth Songs is an experimental documentary about uprisings against racialized police violence in Thatcherite Britain. Crucially, it is also a critique of their media coverage and colonial pre-histories. Sarah Hayden will give a hybrid talk which will be followed screening of Handsworth Songs with augmented audio-description and creative captions.
