흥미로운 사실

Generation Revolution is a 2016 British documentary film directed by Cassie Quarless and Usayd Younis. It follows the stories of Black and Asian activists in London who aim to change the social and political landscape in the capital. The film preceded the inception of the UK's Black Lives Matter movement.

Production

Production began in 2014, shooting with the activist group the London Black Revolutionaries. Whilst filming at the 'We Can't Breathe' protest at the Westfield shopping centre in West London, one of the directors was arrested along with 72 other protestors. The directors were also chased by police during the making of the film, with the pursuit leading to one of the production's lenses being smashed.

The two directors stated that they were inspired to make the film as a way of counteracting the often negative portrayal that young people of colour were getting in the media and amongst the general public.
