By Maureen Blackwood and Isaac Julien
The first film by Sankofa Film and Video, The Passion of Remembrance has gained classic status as a representation of the totality and diversity of Black experience. Within a dramatic framework the film gives a mosaic impression of the different dimensions of Black experience lived and imagined by a generation of filmmakers in the UK. As beautiful as it is eloquent, The Passion of Remembrance is critical viewing for those interested in race, gender, history and cinema studies.
