'A brilliantly readable and insightful book.' Mark Kermode, Observer
'Deftly, delightfully, yet inexorably, Ellen E Jones shows us exactly what's wrong with the world as we usually see it on screen. With her big love of cinema and her very big brain, she's the best film critic in a generation.' Lucy Worsley
Is race comedy 'cancelled'?
Is there such a thing as an Indigenous Western?
Where are all the films about 'whiteness'?
Ellen E. Jones combines her personal experience as a mixed-race woman with her professional expertise as a film and TV journalist of twenty years to ask and answer these questions. Screen Deep illuminates the immense potential of screen storytelling to challenge societal racism, and ultimately defeat it.
