Steve McQueen
Mary talks to award-winning filmmaker and Turner Prize winning artist Steve McQueen, discussing his views on growing up in London and his ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ One anthology series Small Axe.
Mary is in the company of award-winning filmmaker and Turner Prize winning artist Steve McQueen. His films, including Hunger, Shame and the Oscar-winning 12 Years a Slave, reveal a director who wants to tell powerful stories that have not been heard, focusing on those who rarely get a voice. In a long conversation that is both personal and political, Mary and Steve discuss his views on growing up in London, and his new ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ One anthology series Small Axe. Set from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s, each film tells a different story involving racism and discrimination in London's West Indian community.
