FILM SCREENING PLUS Q&A WITH PAULINE BLACK & JANE MINGAY
Pauline Black, lead singer of 2-Tone hit band The Selecter, tells her extraordinary life story in the same frank manner that helped shape her as an iconic, era-defining female musician. Pauline had a difficult upbringing, and joining the 2-Tone music movement in 1979 was the perfect catalyst, enabling her to explore and express all sides of herself. Looking back at her own ground-breaking experience in this feature documentary, Pauline traces how her legacy came about and how it remains relevant today, especially in a society constantly pushing the boundaries of gender, politics, race, and identity.
Pauline, of mixed Nigerian and Jewish heritage, was adopted into a white family in Essex in the 1950s, her upbringing defined by casual racism from within her own family. She found her identity in the Coventry 2-Tone music scene, where The Selecter became a reflection of working-class life in Thatcher’s Britain. Their music stood as social reportage with an ethos of anti-racism and anti-sexism.
This is a cinematic and visceral documentary blending intimate actuality, archive, interviews, and a storming soundtrack. Contributors include Arthur ‘Gaps’ Hendrickson, Don Letts, Skin, Damon Albarn, Rhoda Dakar, Lynval Golding, Mykaell Riley, Sonia Boyce, and Jools Holland.
In addition to the screening of this powerful film, there will be a Q&A session with Pauline Black and the film’s director, Jane Mingay. Don’t miss this chance to hear firsthand insights about the making of the documentary and the incredible journey of Pauline Black.
