Being Blacker

Molly Dineen’s acclaimed documentary about renowned Brixton-based music producer Blacker Dread.

After a ten-year absence, BAFTA award-winning filmmaker Molly Dineen returned with this intimate documentary, which tells the story of renowned Jamaican-born reggae record shop owner, music producer, businessman and community pillar Blacker Dread.

Opening the door to Dineen at a time of great personal crisis, he reflects on the issues that have dogged his life in the UK: inequality, poverty, crime and racism, and why he sent his youngest child back to school in Jamaica.
