Alex Wheatle (2020)
An intimate account of a decisive moment in British history unfolds via the true story of one man’s awakening Black consciousness. Raised in a cold, oppressive children’s home that has left him estranged from his West Indian roots, the eponymous orphan Alex Wheatle (Sheyi Cole) gradually finds his voice as an artist, activist, and writer on the streets of Brixton—a transformation that intersects with the 1981 uprising in which the neighborhood’s mainly Black youth erupt in protest against police violence

Captivating movie !
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
