There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

“Ové powerfully presents a cross-section of Black perspectives – and the tensions those differing ideas provoke.”
—House Notes

“PRESSURE is vigorous and rough-hewn and Ové lays down the broad brushstrokes with compulsive energy.”
—The Guardian

“Hard-hitting and uncompromising.”
—Far Out Magazine

In Horace Ové’s classic, co-scripted by Sam Selvon (The Lonely Londoners) and hailed as the UK’s first Black feature-length drama, Black Trinidadian Tony (Herbert Norville) grapples with the society that rejects him: 1970s England. Gritty and raw, PRESSURE is cinema that speaks truth to power.
