"A For Alien" (Attack The Block, 2011)

Black Women Watch...

For Episode 2 of "Black Women Watch...", Tish heads over across the pond to look at a contemporary classic that laid the foundation for the career of John Boyega, subverted the traditional "urban" film that UK film was exploring at the time, and has aged as a cult favourite that has endless replay value.

This is "Attack The Block", (2011) Written & Directed By Joe Cornish, starring John Boyega, Jodie Whittaker & Nick Frost.
