Summary

Small Axe is a brilliant series of five films by legendary director Steve McQueen streaming on Amazon right now. These are genius films about the Black experience—dancing to music, fighting the police, struggling to feel at home as white supremacy tries to push you out. I talk to director McQueen about Small Axe and about his iconic Oscar winning film 12 Years A Slave. The man is a genius and this conversation is epic.
