Portrait Of The 1985 Handsworth Riots - Pogus Caesar - BBC1 TV . Inside Out.
Birmingham film maker and photographer Pogus Caesar knows Handsworth well. He found himself in the centre of the 1985 riots and spent two days capturing a series of startling images. Caesar kept them hidden for 20 years. Why? And how does he see Handsworth now?.
The stark black and white photographs featured in the film provide a rare, valuable and historical record of the raw emotion, heartbreak and violence that unfolded during those dark and fateful days in September 1985.
A powerful film, so GB went through this as well eh? Scholars around the world should look at this!
