Regina King’s directorial debut stood out at this year’s Venice film festival. There’s the intriguing subject matter: it’s an adaptation of Kemp Powers’s dramatisation of a real-life meeting between Cassius Clay, Malcolm X, Jim Brown and Sam Cooke after Clay’s surprise win over Sonny Liston in February 1964. But there’s another reason: it’s the first film directed by an African-American woman to be selected in the festival’s history. 41 0

It’s easy to believe that in the 21st century that issues such as slavery are far behind us. In reality, many of these enslaved African people and colonies were only freed around 100 years ago. Despite anti-slavery movements and the Emancipation Act, slavery was certainly not over in 1833. 19 0
