Very rarely are Black British figures afforded the exposure and coverage that Channel 4 News gave Menelik Shabazz yesterday. Please watch and share this link far and wide.
#RIPMenelikShabazz
Acclaimed film-maker Menelik Shabazz has died aged 67. His award-winning film "Burning an Illusion" was only the second British feature to be directed by a Black film-maker. @AyshahTull explores his impact on the industry and beyond.

1/2. 22nd June 1948 will forever be a part of British history - especially for the living survivors of Empire Windrush. Today is a constant reminder of the part they played to help make a better life for themselves, their families, their community and the UK as a society.

3/4. I’m excited to be working with companies like Pivot TV (founded by Lee Elliot) & continuing to put filmmakers first. No longer do we have to wait for Black British people to set up their own subscription video on demand streaming platform. That need has now been filled.
