Book tickets

Photographer to the greats, collaborator in African liberation movements and archivist of Harlem culture, Kwame Brathwaite’s impact on Black culture is undeniable. Yet his achievements went unrecognised for many years. Bringing his story to light, this film sees family and friends honour his artistry, and features insights from Gabrielle Union, Alicia Keys and Jesse Williams.
