“Voice is everything. Without a voice we can’t express who we are. My voice comes out in my creativity.”
In this week’s episode of The Art of Oppression we hear from multi-award-winning actor, writer, director and producer Alex Kayode-Kay who talks about his latest film The Ballad of Olive Morris. The short tells of an instance in the life of Black activist Olive Morris and it is in this moment that Kayode-Kay gives us a sense of the person Olive was and the motivation behind her activism.
Also featuring Courtney Pine and supported by award-winning writer Alex Wheatle, Kayode-Kay has given voice to a little-known activist who left a lasting legacy.
Alex also speaks about his successful and unconventional approach to raising funds for his film after not receiving funding support from traditional funders and of his future plans.
