Pressure

With a screenplay written by Horace Ové and fellow Trinidadian author Sam Selvon, Pressure tells the story of Tony, a bright school-leaver and son of West Indian immigrants, who finds himself torn between his parents' church-going conformity and his brother's Black Power militancy. A groundbreaking and authentic exploration of the anxieties of an emerging second-generation of West Indians in Britain, Pressure (1975) is a significant title in the history of British Cinema, and remains as relevant now as it ever was, with its themes of police corruption, discrimination and employment on an individual and institutional level.
