Press reviews.
Reggie Yates travels to LA for an intelligent think-piece in which he meets a new wave of black actors, writers and showrunners…The best documentary on TV this week.” - The Observer
“An excellent documentary.” - The Times
Revolutionary change is shaking up the TV industry in Hollywood. A wave of hit shows like Atlanta, Dear White People and Insecure, all with majority African-American casts, are pioneering a new frankness about race and identity. TV’s Black Renaissance: Reggie Yates in Hollywood follows Reggie Yates to LA and into this ferociously creative and hugely aspirational new world, as he meets leading African-American actors such as Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali (Moonlight, True Detective) and Stranger Things star Caleb Mclaughlin, and writers and showrunners from Lena Waithe (Master of None and The Chi) to Justin Simien (Dear White People).
Through entertaining encounters with some of the most exciting talent working in the entertainment industry, Reggie tackles the big questions in Trump’s America that the work coming out of this black renaissance addresses, and he explores his own experiences of working in front of, and behind, the camera.

Synopsis
A global phenomenon as told by the people that made it happen. In the 1980's, Nike was a struggling company and decided to target a younger market. Betting the house on Michael Jordan, and hiring a young Spike Lee to direct the promos, Nike created the perfect platform. Jordan backed it up, becoming the greatest player of all time, and his sneakers attained the same status. But a darker side of this success story emerged in 1989 when the high price tag, and a low supply/high demand strategy fuelled violent attacks and even murder. Nike has turned a blind eye.
This film is a parable of America's love affair with consumer capitalism and celebrity culture.
In a film made possible by Axe, THUMP heads to New York to delve deep into the hyper-stylish, hyper-competitive world of the ballroom. Our examination of vogue introduces us to the likes of Gisele Xtravaganza and MikeQ as we head to one of the legendary Vogue Knights events.

Stand up comedian Jamali Maddix returns to the US for hit series Hate Thy Neighbour. In this season Jamali spends 5 months with some of America’s most controversial figures, hostile movements and non-conformist groups in an attempt to understand why America is now such a divided and divisive country today.
In a country rocked by political change and social turbulence, where the role of authority, nationalism and free speech are constantly being fought over and debated, Jamali spends time with these polarising and often extreme characters, asking why America is getting so angry.

Echoes of the Past
Nigel Roebuck has been a Formula 1 journalist / writer for well over 40 years. In the 70s and 80s he was the drivers go to guy. This was before press officers and PR people. If he wanted to do an interview with a driver, he just asked them. As a result of this, he forged friendships with many of them – think James Hunt, Senna, Gilles Villeneuve and many more.
Nigel has an incredible archive of, largely, unheard interviews with many of the great racing car drivers of the 70s and 80s, most of whom are no longer here. These interviews have become the basis of a short documentary series called Echoes of the Past.
