Take Your Knee Off My Neck

Channel 4

5 x 7

Five short films offering a black British perspective on the murder of George Floyd by the US police. Each film takes a different approach – from testimony, to poetry, and comedy. The series provides a fresh perspective on race and racism in Britain today.

“These were designed as films of protest, not films about protest. There’s no greater international issue out there and it felt key to respond quickly. Milk and Honey have worked around the clock to make films of the highest quality which do not flinch away from some painful truths.” - Sacha Mirzoeff.
