Black Joy
Black Joy is a vibrant and witty 1977 British film that captures the chaotic journey of a young Guyanese immigrant, Ben, trying to find his way in the bustling streets of Brixton. Arriving in London with dreams of an easier life, he finds himself caught in a whirlwind of mishaps and misadventures.
His troubles are largely fueled by Dave (played by Norman Beaton from popular TV show Desmonds), a street-smart, “assimilated” Caribbean con artist who leads him into one fiasco after another.
Adapted from the stage play Dark Days and Light Nights by Jamal Ali and showcased at the 1977 Cannes Film Festival, Black Joy is a cleverly ironic yet poignant look at the immigrant experience.
