2023's Awards season has been a mixed bag - and definitely not mixed enough in terms of representation amongst the winners. This week's guest, critic Leila Latif, has built a career speaking out about the continued lack of recognition for people-of-colour in film. In this episode we discuss the problem with awards campaigns, the unreasonable attacks and judgement endured by Spike Lee and other black filmmakers and how she has to "Trojan-horse" herself into publications to secure commissions beyond the topics of black cinema and diversity.
