Synopsis: Co-directed by Blackwood and Julien, the first full-length feature film by Sankofa Film and Video (1986) offers a radical and necessary interrogation into what constitutes 'post-colonial' identity at a time of political and social restlessness in Britain.
Set within an isolated desert landscape contrasted with recognizable scenes of the intensity of family life, this vanguard work demonstrates the richness and variety of the black experience. Featuring British-born Maggie Baptise, The Passion of Remembrance is a poetic and hard-hitting commentary on the complexities of race, gender and sexuality. (Tate)
