Being Blacker (2018): Cast

This intimate documentary returns with acclaimed filmmaker Molly Dineen after a decade, presenting a portrait of Jamaican-born reggae producer Blacker Dread. Forty years after he appeared in Dineen’s earlier film, Blacker and his community in South London grapple with rapid social change, gentrification, inequality, poverty, crime, and racism. The film offers a deeply personal look at Blacker’s life as he mourns his mother, deals with business closure, and faces a prison sentence, revealing a rarely-heard perspective on life in Britain today.
