Immigrant Stories is a collection of films that illustrate the immigrant experience as it progresses along the generations. Free popcorn will be served, and a discussion will follow the screenings. Pressure (Horace Ové,1976, 136 minutes) is a film about Tony, a second-generation British-born Black teenager of Trinidadian descent, who struggles to find his place in 1970s London. Caught between his parents’ desire for assimilation and his brother’s Black Power activism, his growing frustration with institutional racism and unemployment leads him towards radicalization, exploring the identity crisis of a generation caught between two cultures. Pressure was the first British feature to be written and directed by a Black filmmaker and the first to focus on the perspective of Black characters. The Guardian said, “Pressure is vigorous and rough-hewn and Ové lays down the broad brushstrokes with compulsive energy. It has the punchy quality of a 21st-century graphic novel, eagerly tackling Black Power and social realism, mixing comedy, tragedy and irony.”
