Reel Histories is a bold and compelling film programme for Black History Month 2025 that amplifies the cinematic legacies of Black communities across the globe. From poetic reflections on the Windrush generation to revolutionary struggles in the Caribbean, South America and the UK, these films explore themes of resistance, visibility and identity. Reel Histories invites audiences to witness stories both hidden and heralded, as told through ground-breaking narrative, documentary and short film.

The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution

The first feature-length documentary to explore the Black Panther Party, its significance to the broader American culture, its political awakening for Black people and the lessons learnt since. The film weaves a treasure trove of rare archival footage with the diverse group of first-hand accounts: police, FBI informants, journalists, white supporters and detractors, and Black Panthers who remained loyal to the party and those who left it.

Tickets £10 | £8 Concession + £1 Booking Fee | Reel Histories Pass: £45*

* The Reel Histories Pass includes access to the BHM Official Launch, all screenings and in conversations within the Reel Histories programme and a complimentary beverage at each screening.
