This Britain season: Burning an Illusion (1981)

First feature film by Menelik Shabazz, director of the more recent film 'Lovers Rock'

Girlfriend - "What's all this then..movin' in??
Boyfriend - "I've nowhere to stay
Girlfriend - "Oh no"

This film, unlike the other (Pressure) has a male female relationship focus. I find it quite sad in the main. In fact, ended up quite tearful in places. Odd. It's just a film.

I can't see this. I guess it's because your video discriminates against Americans.

Welcome

It’s nice to have your company..

and I’m happy to share my thoughts with you

We may not always agree, but we can disagree with love for such is the beauty of life.

If I could ask anything of you, it would be that you step outside of what you know, and embrace people from other backgrounds, to try to build genuine friendships that span across the economic and racial divide.

If we want to put an end to isms such as racism, maybe we need to begin closer to home. Reserve judgments and open our minds to new ways of thinking…new ways of being.

It’s not easy breaking with the norm, but it’s worth a try.

I may not know how to be a lot of things..

but I know how to be me.

Enjoy x
