Onze Kijk
The groundbreaking debut from Menelik Shabazz, Burning an Illusion was the first British film to feature a Black female lead. Filmed around Ladbroke Grove and Notting Hill during the Thatcher years, this fiery love story is a powerful, aspirational tale of political and emotional emancipation.
