Summary:
Pressure is a hard-hitting drama of the struggle and disenchantment faced by British-born black youths. Set in 1970s London, it tells the story of Tony, son of West Indian immigrants, who finds himself torn between his parents' church-going conformity and his brother's Black Power militancy. Baldwin's nigger is a documentary about James Baldwin and Dick Gregory addressing a group of British students in the late Sixties.
