Screen Deep by Ellen E. Jones
signedhardbackScreen Deep is a book about the immense potential of screen storytelling to defeat an evil both historic and urgently topical: racism. Everyone watches TV and movies. Everyone has an interest in building a more just and equitable world.
Screen Deep goes beyond the many film books and anti-racist manuals by demonstrating the connection between these two aspects of modern life. In Screen Deep Ellen E. Jones combines her personal experience as a mixed-race woman who cares about racism with her professional expertise as a film and TV journalist of twenty years standing, to ask - and answer - several questions:
Is there such a thing as an Indigenous western?
Is race comedy 'cancelled'?
Where are all the films for white people?
And most importantly: Can you still fight the good fight with a mouthful of popcorn?
