Book Presentation:
Screen Deep: How film and TV can solve racism and save the world is a book about the immense potential of screen storytelling to defeat an evil both historic and urgently topical. Everyone watches TV and movies. Everyone has an interest in building a more just and equitable world. Screen Deep goes beyond the many film books and anti-racist manualsalready published, by demonstrating the connection between these two aspects of modern life. In Screen Deep I combine my personal experience as a mixed-race woman who cares about racism with my professional expertise as a film and TV journalist of twenty years standing, to ask - and answer - several questions. Is there such a thing as an Indigenous western? Is race comedy 'cancelled'? Where are all the films for white people? And most Can you still fight the good fight with a mouthful of popcorn?
