About the event
Directed by pioneering filmmaker Horace Ové, Pressure is the first Black British feature film and a landmark of British cinema. Set in 1970s London, it follows Tony, a young British-born man of Trinidadian heritage, as he struggles with identity, racism, and belonging while caught between his family's expectations and the growing Black Power movement. Powerful, thought-provoking, and still deeply relevant today, Pressure remains an essential portrait of Black British life.
