"A For Alien" (Attack The Block, 2011)

  • Summary

  • For Episode 2 of "Black Women Watch...", Tish heads over across the pond to look at a contemporary classic that laid the foundation for the career of John Boyega, subverted the traditional "urban" film that UK film was exploring at the time, and has aged as a cult favourite that has endless replay value.
