The world premiere of Ear For Eye, the second feature from filmmaker and playwright Debbie Tucker Green, will air exclusively on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer on Saturday 16 October

As part of the 65th BFI London Film Festival, the film will be shown at BFI Southbank and exclusively the same evening on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer. The writer/director is expected to attend along with key cast members. The film stars Lashana Lynch (Captain Marvel, No Time To Die), Tosin Cole (Doctor Who, The Souvenir), Carmen Munroe (Desmond’s), Danny Sapani (Harlots, MotherFatherSon), Nadine Marshall (Sitting In Limbo) and Arinzé Kene (I’m Your Woman). Tucker Green has adapted her highly acclaimed 2018 Royal Court stage production for the screen, with backing from BBC Film, BBC Two and the BFI

From front rooms, kitchens and campuses to the streets, Ear For Eye follows Black families, friends, students and older generations navigating British and American society today. Visually inventive, it explores demonstrations vs direct action, violence vs non-violence, the personal vs structural and features an impressive soundtrack from artists including Run The Jewels, FKA Twigs and Kano.

The 65th BFI London Film Festival takes place from Wednesday 6 October — Sunday 17 October 2021. You can read more about this film and others in the press release.
