The BBC has debuted the trailer for the final film in Steve McQueen’s superb series of films, ‘Small Axe’ has been revealed. The fifth film in the series airs on the BBC in the UK this weekend, and then on Amazon Prime for international audiences shortly afterwards. In the film, newcomer Kenyah Sandy stars opposite Sharlene Whyte (We Hunt Together, Casualty), Daniel Francis (Once Upon A Time, Homefront), Tamara Lawrance (The Long Song, Kindred), Josette Simon (Wonder Woman, Silent Witness, Law & Order: UK) as well as BAFTA-winning Naomi Ackie (End of the F***ing World).
Education is the coming of age story of 12-year-old Kingsley (Kenyah Sandy), a boy with a fascination for astronauts and rockets. When Kingsley is called to the Headmaster’s office for disruptive behaviour in class, he is shocked to discover his transfer to a school for those with “special needs.” Distracted by working two jobs, his parents are unaware of what was an unofficial segregation policy at play, preventing many Black children from having the education they deserve until a group of West Indian women take matters into their own hands.
Small Axe: Education airs on BBC One on Sunday at 9pm.
Check out the trailer below.
