Black Bristol on Film delves deep into Bristol's rich and complex history with its Black community. A city forged in resistance against racial injustice, we invite you to journey through time.

Witness the birth of the St Paul’s Carnival and the raw energy and spirit of
St Paul’s during this transformative era. Confront the pivotal Riots of the 1980s and understand the catalyst for change. Celebrate the people and music
that care about community.

With Q&As with the filmmakers we ask: How can Bristol’s past shape its future?
