We Need To Talk About Whiteness - with Amma Asante

Episode 11 - The Whiteness of Film - BAFTA award winning writer and director Amma Asante hasn't shied away from talking about race - from her recent contributions to the "My White Best Friend (and Other Letters Left Unsaid" festival, to her films which feature mixed race abolitionist aristocrat "Belle", to the story of afro-germans under the Nazis - but are mainstream films always produced for the 'white gaze' and are there some stories we simply shouldn't subject to it? In this episode, Amma Asante joins Dr Myriam Francois to discuss whiteness in the film industry.
