Goin’ Back to T-Town tells the story of Greenwood, an extraordinary Black community in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that prospered during the 1920s and 30s despite rampant and hostile segregation. Torn apart in 1921 by one of the worst racially-motivated massacres in the nation’s history, the neighborhood rose from the ashes, and by 1936 boasted the largest concentration of Black-owned businesses in the U.S., known as “Black Wall Street.” Ironically, it could not survive the progressive policies of integration and urban renewal of the 1960s. Told through the memories of those who lived through the events, the film is a bittersweet celebration of small-town life and the resilience of a community’s spirit.

When BLM protestors in Bristol tear down a statue of slave trader Edward Colston, the city is engulfed in controversy. Can the mayor help heal a city divided? In the wake of George Floyd’s murder, history is being re-examined and legacies overturned. Edward Colston’s statue in Bristol is one of the first to tumble. Some celebrate. Others are concerned. This probing documentary follows Europe’s first directly elected black mayor of any major European city, Marvin Rees, as he attempts to calm rising tensions in one of Britain’s most segregated cities. Can Rees pull his citizens together, or will Bristol’s historical conflicts tear the community apart?
On Sunday 7th June 2020, sparked by the horrific murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, protestors marching to support the Black Lives Matter movement tore down the statue of slave trader Edward Colston and threw it in the city's harbour. This dramatic action in Bristol thrust the city onto the global stage and put it at the forefront of last summer's bitter culture wars. Caught in the eye of this storm was Bristol's mayor Marvin Rees, the first directly elected mayor of Black African heritage of a major European city. Born and bred in Bristol and himself a descendant of enslaved people, how would he hold the city together in the face of rising tensions that threaten to explode into violent confrontation?
