Black/Current is a space to provide both educational and entertaining content primarily by or about Black people. That’s Black Brits, Black Americans, Black Africans, Black Canadians, Black Australians and so forth.
This extraordinary documentary focuses on a group of Jamaican surfers as they talk about their lives, culture, racism, family and gender stereotypes. A great cinematic experience that tells a story worth listening to.
There is a really loud desire for diverse voices and stories and we want to be a part of that conversation.
