DOC TUESDAYS PRESENTS ALL WHITE IN BARKING
On Tuesday 20th July we will be screening an award winning documentary 'All White in Barking' and ' 'Lift', directed by Marc Isaacs. There will be a Q&A after the screenings. Through revealing interviews, alternately shocking and humorous, this documentary profile of a white working-class community from East London offers a timely snapshot of an increasingly multicultural Britain. The racial composition of Barking is in rapid flux, with immigrants from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the Balkans arriving and many longtime white residents leaving. "Brilliant!... Skillfully illuminates the absurdity of racism... it is often not racism at all but rather bewilderment, ignorance and frustration." Sarfraz Manzoor, The Guardian "Deftly proves that racial prejudice is more complicated than it first appears." Roland White, The Sunday Times "Highlights the beauty that can come from acceptance while not forgetting how far there is still to go... Highly recommended." Jessica Hopkins, The Observer
