Centre for Inclusion and Diversity at the University of Bradford, are hosting a Black History Month event entitled, “Being the Change Agent: Film Screening and Director’s Spotlight with Director/Lecturer Obi Emelonye”. This years’ Black History Month theme is: Time for Change: Action Not Words and as the first Black British Independent filmmaker to have a UK-wide film screening, Obi Emelonye is the perfect person to demonstrate what a change agent is and what it takes. The University of Bradford is one of the most socially inclusive universities in the UK and #1 for social mobility. It is imperative that students, staff and the wider public see someone who not only shouts the word, “Action” behind the camera, but discover what actions led up to this moment.Black Mail (2022) Film Screening &amp; Director’s Spotlight with Obi Emelonye N﻿ote: refreshments will be available from 2.15pm outside of JSB Lecture Theatre15:00-15:15 Welcome by Dr. Tiffany R.
