“These are the untold stories that make up our nation”: Steve McQueen on Small Axe

Small Axe, Steve McQueen’s astonishing five-film anthology about the joys and pains of Black British life between the 1960s and 80s, is a landmark moment for British film and television. David Olusoga, the pre-eminent historian of Black Britain, talks to the director about the project, and why the films have as much to say about the country in 2020 as they do about the past.
