A pioneering first feature from Menelik Shabazz, much of it shot around the Notting Hill and Ladbroke Grove communities, Burning an Illusion marked a coming of age for Black British cinema.
A film about transformation and identity, Burning an Illusion is a love story that traces the emotional and political growth of a young Black couple in Thatcher’s London. It was the first British film to give a central voice to a Black woman, charting her journey to emotional maturity, emancipation and political awakening.
