White Colour Black (15)
Directed by Joseph A Adesunloye
★★★
THE idea of identity — who we are, where we come from and where we belong — especially in the wake of Brexit, is explored in this moving and powerful debut feature by writer-director Joseph A Adesunloye.
The film is loosely based on the British, Nigerian-born filmmaker’s own experiences and is seen through the eyes of London-based photographer Leke (champion boxer turned actor Dudley O’Shaughnessy) who is of mixed race and who, on learning of his estranged father’s death, is forced to return home to Senegal and his dad’s village.
