7 September: PRESSURE on Blu-ray
Horace Ové’s pioneering debut PRESSURE (1976) explores the tensions facing a young Black British man caught between family, identity and political radicalisation. Showcasing the BFI National Archive’s recent 4K restoration, this is the first time Pressure has been available on Blu-ray in the UK. The disc also features Ové’s 1969 film Baldwin's N*****.
