Episode 3: Black is the New Hollywood

BBC Two - Black Hollywood: 'They've Gotta Have Us', Series 1, Black is the New Hollywood

Documentary looking at how black movies are no longer seen as a genre.

Documentary looking at how black movies are no longer seen as a genre, and black film-makers are no longer seen as non-bankable.

This episode picks up the story in the post-Black Panther era, where black movies are no longer seen as a genre, and black film-makers are no longer seen as non-bankable. 

In an era where Moonlight won Best Picture and the director of Get Out won Best Original Screenplay, the number of award winners and nominees is steadily growing. Amongst these winners, there are British stars following in the footsteps of Steve McQueen, director of 12 Years a Slave, who have left Britain. Theirs is a generation led by the likes of David Oyelowo and John Boyega, growing in influence and leading the invasion of bankable black British stars to Hollywood.
