As part of the BFI’s blockbuster season, Black Star, we present a new collection of classroom resources that explore race and representation on screen. Written for teachers by teachers, these lesson ideas use British film and TV titles to bring the past to life and to help address often complex and difficult issues. For use in the Primary to Key Stage 5 classrooms.
