In the third of Reel History’s UK Black History Month episodes, Hugh and Jenna explore the 2005 film Kinky Boots directed by Julian Jarrold, written by Geoff Deane and Tim Firth, and staring Joel Edgerton, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Sarah-Jane Potts. 

This time Hugh and Jenna look at a very different type of Black History and a different point of view, highlighting the importance of the overlap and the interaction of history including local as well of that of different minorities. Discussing the end of the industrial revolution, and the decline of Britain’s centres of excellence for manufacture. Also, where is the North?
