black & brown is a London based production company founded by Cassie and Usayd from the simple desire to tell the real stories of their peers – fellow Londoners who are trying to affect meaningful change in our society. Cassie and Usayd were tired of seeing narratives about young black and brown people that they simply knew weren’t true and so decided to bring challenging and exciting films that centre the Global Majority to mass audiences.

black & brown’s first feature documentary Generation Revolution was released in UK cinemas and streamed to Netflix. Other films released include:

After 8, uncovering the darker side of Britain’s post pub curry culture. It tells the story of Satpal Ram and unveiling a major miscarriage in justice, sparks profound reflection on the struggle for racial equality in the UK.

Death by Pollution, about the case of Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, a nine-year-old girl who lived in south-east London and died in 2013. The cause of death was listed as air pollution, and now her mother is fighting to make clean air a human right.

black & brown currently have a slate of films at various stages of production.
