A milestone 1970s British film that - with its themes of racism, unemployment and inter-generational tension - remains resonant and relevant now, Horace Ové's Pressure places us among the West Indian migrant community in London. Tony (Herbert Norville) is the first in his household to be born and raised in Britain - his mother, father and brother were born in Trinidad. Unlike the rest of his family, he believes in a British society where he can progress, integrate and thrive, but is this the reality of life in a white-dominated nation?
