Black characters from anonymous British and American families speak directly about the racial injustice they face. The film is based on a play and keeps a simple style where people tell their own stories.

The film had its world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on 16 October 2021, and aired on the BBC on the same day. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
