Screen deep : how film and TV can solve racism and save the world
Jones, Ellen E.2025
Books
This is a book about the immense potential of screen storytelling to defeat an evil both historic and urgently topical: racism. Everyone watches TV and movies. Everyone has an interest in building a more just and equitable world. 'Screen Deep' goes beyond the many film books and anti-racist manuals by demonstrating the connection between these two aspects of modern life. In this book, Ellen E. Jones combines her personal experience as a mixed-race woman who cares about racism with her professional expertise as a film and TV journalist of twenty years standing, to ask - and answer - several questions: Is there such a thing as an Indigenous western? Is race comedy 'cancelled'? Where are all the films for white people? And most importantly: Can you still fight the good fight with a mouthful of popcorn?
