    Black Joy (1975) An Anthony Simmons Film starring Norman Beaton

    Fremantle

    A great film about black britain in the 70s. Funny and hip, experience Brixton mid-70s. One of the 3 best films about black britain in the 70s (alongside Babylon and Pressure).

    Fresh from his village in Guyana, Benjamin Ignatius arrives in Brixton only to be humiliated by the authorities, robbed of his money and left homeless. Taken in by the very rogues who robbed him, Benjamin soon undergoes a very unorthodox education.

    Features an amazing soul-reggae score that includes Johnny Nash, Billy Paul, The Cimarons, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight and The Three Degrees!
