The film was directed and written by Horace Ove. Herbet Norville play Tony.
Tony the English-born son of a Trinidadian parents living in Notting Hill, finds himself alienated from his white friends and white values, and follows the lead of a militant older brother into involvement with Black Power, while still being divided by his loyalties and identity.
There were many examples of racism presented within the film.
- When Tony went for his job interview, the interviewer changed personality as soon as he saw Tony was coloured as he thought we would be interviewing a white person.
- Tony was asked questions which discriminate him as a person and judged him quickly when asking is he had been into able trouble.
The film is also showing how Tony is torn between his families way. While food is used to show a clear difference between Britain and their country. It clearly shows how the older generation still have issues from the past on both sides. Where Tony's mother is more hopeful that things have changed. And Sheila's mother who doesn't accept Tony into the house. However the younger generation that have been born after Windrush like Tony knows that the white society still discriminate against him even though he was born in Britain.
