Michael Smith Documentary with Linton Kwesi Johnson part 1

[@_....J........................]

thank you for posting this. I've been searching for the whole film, after I read this essay by Stefano Harney and Fred Moten in "All Incomplete" pdf, called "Leave Our Mikes Alone" - if you have the whole film please can you upload it with the essay title "Leave Our Mikes Alone" - that way the internet feds can't find it and delete it, but the people can!

What a tribute of poetic genius clr James, Michael Smith & the prodigious Michael Smith.. These redeeming men are a great empowerment for verse & speech. Literally down my street. And not forgetting Benjamin Zephaniah who as to be mentioned A great hailment for black history month October 2022.

The full program is 52 minutes, so about half an hour is missing. Very sad that it's not publicly available online (although I'm very grateful to be able to see these excerpts). This is the BFI entry: collections-search.bfi.org.uk/web/Details/ChoiceFilmItems/154678589

I couldn't relate much to Shakespeare either. Never a fan. Bad mindset. Love Michael Smith ❤
