I can't believe this is based on the director's life. Now the man has grown up and become successful despite everything he went through. Shows that there is hope for anyone no matter what! Inspiring! ❤️

Trying to erase anyone's culture is a stain on every one else's culture. Thinking lighter and whiter is better and darker is bad. To make children feel ashamed of what God has made them is horrible. It is our past and present. It does not have to be our future. Everyone of us can change for the better.

Man, what a brutal story...and to think this was someone's life.

Everyone should watch this type of movie - it SHOULD depress you, it SHOULD bother you, it SHOULD make you question the state of things. Don’t say you can’t watch, because you actually can and do see this stuff already. This horrible behavior is still here among us and a movie like this is trying to shine an even brighter light on the ugly parts of humanity that we need to reconcile within ourselves. This is also not just one person’s fight, it affects us all - including watching bystanders who think it doesn’t apply to them, until it does. Sorry for the rant but no one should be keeping their heads in the sand. Be kind to each other, we’re all we have.

Looks like an incredible film but shit I already know imma cry so hard watching this.

Seeing our very Genevieve Nnaji along side Kate and Gugu... what an accomplishment, Naija for Life!!!!!!!

i dont think i can watch this...it makes me mad just watchin the trailer

looks like a excellent film..but I cant watch humans being miserable to each other, it depresses the hell outa me :(

When I was 7 I tried scrubbing off the black off my skin too. Wow: I can't wait to see a movie that I can finally relate to. They really pushed the limits with this one.

ADEWALE AKINNOUYE-AGBAJE is finally telling his story; dope!

I cant ....... This is the type of movie to make me cry or super angry . I just can not ......deal

This was life in 70s and 80s in England... Uncomfortable to watch on screen for some, but for others just a memory away.. We all must Move forward towards the future, But this will always be part of our country's past, none of us can't ever forget that!!

So, I already cried during the trailer. I don't think I could hack the film. I'm just glad that I was raised to love the skin I'm in.

Anyone else tear up after watching the trailer? Just me? ok

Whoa...I appreciate when actors get to use their native tongue

This is a very original story, one based on real but forgotten events. I'm down for it. Genivive, keep going.

I love the change that Kate Beckinsale portrays. Never seen her like this.

This film is going to bring all the feels and this is the kind of story that needs to be told. The fact that Akinnuoye-Agbaje was so honest about his story is amazing! He has come so far & has made the most of his life!

Speechless, as a Black man from the Caribbean I'm speechless...

Wow! Truly an amazing and upsetting retelling of a personal past life, but we can’t follow in old footsteps as a new society We must change 💔

WoW That’s a powerful movie with a deep message ✌🏿

Nigerians are making the news everywhere now and in a good way. Awesome!

They spectacular actors including one Homegrown Nigerian ( Genevieve Nnaji) and One Nigerian-British (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) ....fair .....then how can i be mad at one of Black's rising talent 'DAMSON IDRIS' who is also of Nigerian Descent .....shout out to the production team. Namaste !

No I can't I would cry the whole movie

Gugu's films never seem to blow and they are dope. This one and Fast Colour are very good films

So proud of Adewale! I have watched and admired him through the years and withstanding all the adversity in your life makes you my hero. I WILL be watching this!

This looks really good but I'm already crying at the bloody trailer so not sure how I'd fare through the film hahah

Damson Idris is a wonderful actor. I can’t wait to watch this, even though I’ll get emotional.

Omg..... to think someone actually went through this...the part that got me and made me sad to the point of tears was when he tried to scrub his skintone off and when he got painted with white paint.....😔😢

Watching this movie will remind us all to keep moving towards an inclusive society that refuses to discriminate

"This is England" vibes (one of my favourites). Definitely watching.

Adewale loved him since OZ I can't believe this is his story. What a triumph he is.

I’m really looking forward to watching this movie. For those of us born during a certain era, being fostered by white families was common. Our parents were students. To them it was a form of childcare (it sounds very crazy). Some were fortunate to be placed in good homes, some not so fortunate. I went back to Nigeria with my family when they finished schooling. But some were left behind in the United Kingdom to face a racially charged environment without a grasp of their true identity. I can’t even begin to imagine what life must have been like for them. Hopefully, it would give the younger generation some insight into our past to ensure they never forget the emotional trauma those before then put up with. Kudos to Adewale.👊🏾 👏🏾

When I first watched this I was was disgusted and angry that humans would do that to each other....but than I took the time to educate myself on what was actually happening around the 1960-1980s in the Uk and have decided that for MYSELF I’m going to give this movie( that definitely broaden my mind) a chance. Props to all the actresses and actors that truly brought light to this story. I definitely wasn’t excepting for this movie to be like this.

I know it'll be hard to watch. But a story worth telling with good acting deserves an appreciative audience 👍💪👊

Face reality.. Niaja for life. I was brought up in Kano, Nigeria and happy of the same

I first heard about this film back in June in RuPaul's podcast when Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje was his guest. The most powerful story never told.

The first seconds explains British Nigerians perfectly 👍🏿

I feel sick in my stomach watching this 😢 Definitely bringing tissues to the theater

This trailer looks so powerful. What an incredible journey that needs to be told. We all owe it to watch movies like this. No matter how hard history is to watch or digest. We must grow from it and not repeat the errors of the past.

Saw this at TIFF, it was incredibly heartbreaking and beautiful. Highly recommend it.

Truly heart-wrenching but an important story to tell. The acting looks absolutely stellar!

Nigerian movies are making their way to Hollywood! Damn great...

Truth is stranger than fiction.

A story that always needs told.

One if the best movies I've ever seen.👍

Gene is on another level. You go girl! 😘

Wow this is gonna be one hell of a film, just wow

This is heart-breaking!! Don't think I could watch it, would cry to much lol!

When nothing works ...... Hope keeps us alive.... Will watch it for sure.

Wow, I had no idea this occurred in the UK. I'm definitely gonna watch and definitely going to cry. 😢

OMG!!! THE TRAILER MADE ME CRY. i cant..

Sooo much emotions I didn’t think I would feel I’ve felt after this trailer🥺, this will be epic!!!!!!!🙏

Didn't realize I was holding my breath through most the trailer. Intense looking film of a story that needs to be heard.

This looks extraordinary! The fact that this is a true story too really gets the point across. I cant wait to watch this!

This is deep ugh, I don’t know if I can watch it. 😔😔😔

This movie about to hurt people feelings because I see nothing but FACTSSSSSS from this trailer 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I got to go see this movie pronto! The first movie to take me to the cinema in 2 years...

This film is so powerful, that anyone can be whole after going through this, is a miracle.

Omg Genevieve Nnaji!! and gugu mbatha-raw, sign me up!

another interesting movie, the second half of 2019 seems to time of hard hitting thought provoking movies

Defenitely gonna watch this ❤

That is the brother from the TV show Snowfall........I will watch this movie.... I am on the clock here in Melrose Park Illinois USA watching this video

Oh my...Jesus. I felt cold and haunted watching this.

I DEFINITELY going to watch this! Looks intens but beautiful

KZfaq recommended I watch this trailer. Good recommendation, KZfaq Definitely watching this movie.

Does anyone know the name of the songs playing throughout the trailer? Particularly the end? I LOVE IT and can’t find it.

The man lived this shit? Damn dude. That’s insane.

Genevieve is in It! Sign me up!

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 sad that most Black Americans and Non American Blacks can still relate!!!!!

this looks absolutely phenomenal

So underrated greatness!

Can't wait to watch it❤

I feel like everyone needs to watch this... But at the same time... I'm terrified to watch...👀

This looks terrific!

Wow! Looks amazing and based on a true story told by an African/British actor who directed and produced it. Can't wait to see it!

Another Oscar contender!!! Sure of it!!

I had no idea this even what a disgrace I will never under why my race is hated so much...

Definitely looking forward to this one

I'm watching this with tears in my eyes I mean there are people actually feel like this that hates their skin color

Damn... this movie looks hella amazing but I feel it will depress me to no end.Mainly because I relate to it alot. when I was younger I tried scrubbing the blackness off my skin too, cause I was always surrounded by white people, but I've learnt to love myself. And sure the boy in the movie learned to love himself too. It's a journey that way. Dammit I'm tearing up again :'-( I hope this movie wins an Oscar

Adewale did mention his childhood on the real. Never thought he would make a movie😀

I just got angry watching this mess!!

This is depressing... I’m married to a white guy.. I’m going to live in Greece in a few months.. he always tells me that 80% of Greeks are kind of racist especially with interracial dating and if his parents were alive ,they would’ve disowned him for marrying an African. I’m second guessing having kids with him because I’m afraid they will be bullied and profiled. Other than that he is the most amazing man I’ve ever met. What a world we live in.

This looks amazing! I'm in

I can tell this one’s going to hurt but I feel like I need to see it

Looks incredible!

I already know i’m gonna get upset watching this but I can’t wait to watch it.

1st trailer in 2019 to ever make me cry, it sobbed when that little boy started hating his natural complexion after hearing one of those ignorant adult women gossips😢😢😢😢

We never know the pages of someone's history, we just see the finished product. WoW. I remember his acting from Oz and said he is a great actor. Not sure if I have the mental capacity to watch this movie especially in our current state of affairs in the world. I applaud you for bringing your story to the world. Kudos sir 👍👍

I'm getting legit goosebumps watching this...

I’ve been waiting for this to come out since I heard him talk about his up bringing on his interviews. Amazing story that needs to be told. My mum came to London from Nigeria and grew up in one of the whitest neighbourhoods in London. Edgware. She got her face dragged across the floor in school because she was black. There were only 4 blacks in the whole school

Looked like typical melodramatic tripe til about 1:30 mark... say whaaat? He really did this? Heartbreaking for real

This looks amazing.

Genevieve!!!! ❤❤❤

This trailer made me cry...really touching.

This breaks my heart 💔 Everyone is equal, end of.

I have never wanted to set a trailer on fire like I did this one. I am sure that the acting is stellar in this film, but there is no way for me to watch it and not want to shatter every pane of glass within a five mile radius.

Looks like a great movie.

i cannot believe i’ve never heard of this, so shocked at that static even though i grew up in the uk. time to research and when i watch this no doubt masterpiece movie, i’m sure i’ll be crying and i’ll welcome it :(
