About This Kind of Black (Requiem for Black Boys)

It’s a story of growing up in Manchester’s Moss Side during the 1990s, just steps away from conflict and violence. It highlights a community bound by prayers, warmth, and humour while grieving the heartbreaking loss of young lives. It explores the intersection of race and class in a world where the media reduces your reality to ‘Gunchester,’ gangs, and poverty.

It’s worth the applause
