A Family Called Abrew

Director Maureen Blackwood harnesses the distinctive style of the Sankofa Film Collective to sketch the Abrew family tree. The achievements of the unique showbiz family are celebrated using rich archive material, including footage of family members in supporting film roles alongside Paul Robeson and intimate fireside-style testimony. The existence of Black British communities before Windrush is foregrounded, with insights into the Abrews' imprint on British culture beginning in 19th century Scotland.

Director: Maureen Blackwood

Cast: Charlie Abrew, Clementina Abrew, Iris Toummavoh, Cyril Lagey, Lee Kane
