| Synopsis: | The article looks at how black British filmmakers visualized London in a number of documentary and feature films from the 1970s to the 1990s. The authors argue that the filmmakers have achieved a definite change in how the urban space of London is conceived today and claim that the treatment of London - the access permitted or denied to its space(s) - in black British film reflects the growing cultural empowerment of black people in Britain.
