'Generation Revolution', A Doc About POC Activism, Is A Vital Piece Of Filmmaking


October 23, 2017

Generation Revolution is a feature-length documentary you need to see—one which follows two London-based activist groups as they strive to change the capital's political and social landscape. First-time directors Cassie Quarless and Usayd Younis followed activist groups London Black Revolutionaries (or Black Revs) and R Movement for over a year—resulting in a documentary exploring the challenges faced by young activists of colour as they protest against racism, deaths in police custody, migrant policies, attitudes to the homeless and gentrification. 

After showing at the Sheffield Doc/Fest, East End Film Festival, Pan African Film Festival, the Baltimore International Black Film Festival, and others, the film was released in UK cinemas last year and, after touring the States, Brazil, and Argentina, is now available to purchase online.
