With Francine Stock.

Actor and producer David Oyelowo outlines his plans to revolutionize the British film industry and to make films that are genuinely diverse and reflective of the United Kingdom. Oyelowo argues that industry orthodoxies about what audiences want are "lies". And he explains why his son assumed that he would be playing the best friend, and not the male lead, in his new film The Queen Of Katwe.

Francine visits Mouth That Roars, an organisation based in Hackney which trains teenagers in film production, many of whom are from communities that are under-represented in British Cinema. Denise Rose explains how her company is trying to redress the balance.

The result of the BFI poll to find the best loved performance by a black star is announced exclusively on the programme. Show less
