On this exciting occasion the Harvard Film Archive is pleased to present McQueen's celebrated five-part anthology Small Axe, a remarkable exploration of the collective experience of the British West Indian community during the crucial period from the 1960s through the 1980s. Small Axe will also be the focus of McQueen's second lecture on October 21.
