Pressure

Horace Ove, 1975, 120 min.

Hailed as Britain's first black feature film, Pressure is a hard-hitting and honest document 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 find himself torn between his parent's church-going conformity and his brother's Black Power militancy. In his own un-heroic, honest way Tony goes along with his families aspirations for him.
