Looking for something to watch this evening?
The Guardian has made Black Sheep, the documentary that they commissioned, available on their site for free.
The multi-award winning documentary was directed by Ed Perkins and produced by Simon Chinn and Jonathan Chinn of Lightbox, and has been nominated for best short documentary at the upcoming Oscars.
Simon Chinn also brought you Searching for Sugarman and Man on Wire both of which won Oscars in the past.
Black Sheep tells the story of Cornelius Walker, whose life changed on 27 November 2000 – the day Damilola Taylor was killed. Damilola was 10, the same age as Cornelius. He lived five minutes away. He had the same skin colour. Cornelius’s mother, scared for her son’s safety, moved their family out of London. Cornelius suddenly found himself living on a white estate run by racists. But rather than fight them, Cornelius decided to become more like the people who hated him.
Here it is in full. Enjoy:
