Our take

The first film by a Black British woman to be released theatrically in the UK, Ngozi Onwurah’s Welcome II the Terrordome is a radical dystopian allegory. Dismissed on its initial release, this urgent, Afrofuturist fusion of science fiction and political fury now feels lights years ahead of its time.
