Education, each a feature-length film, dropped on five successive weeks on Amazon Prime beginning in November 2020. Each film tells separate stories set between the late 1960s and the mid-1980s, woven together by their ties to the community.
The project was 10 years in the making and the vast majority was filmed before the coronavirus pandemic shut down production globally.
The new
Get Up, Stand Up! musical has moved its West End run to this autumn.
Due to run at the Lyric Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue in London, the piece is set to star Arinzé Kene in the titular role, with further casting to be announced.

The costume design throughout “Small Axe,” a collection of five films directed by Steve McQueen that depicts British West Indian life during a certain time, is a mosaic of precision details. Ordinary garments, to the untrained eye are, indeed, brilliant artifacts of West Indian expression. Watch the episodes with the wardrobe in mind, and you’ll notice vibrant, bespoke personal style hiding in the seams. An A-line dress becomes more than a dress after we learn that a young woman made it by hand; a polyester robe decorated with a pattern like stained glass becomes a mantle when a don wears it. “What is key is that everyone is about a certain style and way of doing things,” McQueen said. “If you look through all of the episodes, it’s not just in the clothes; it’s all a style. It’s not just what you do, it’s the way that you do it.”
