1) List FIVE films, FIVE TV programmes and FIVE online-only productions that are discussed in the article.
There are many films and tv programmes being mentioned in the article. for example, Slumdog millionaire, sunshine, Kidulthood, Adulthood, Ill manors and sket. There are Black men at the helm, top boy, 55 degrees north, Luther and line of duty. There were also online productions like Brothers with no game, venus vs mars, all about the mckenzies, the ryan sisters and met the adebanjos.
2) Watch Destiny Ekaragha's clips above (more of her work is available on her website, including the short film The Park). To what extent can we apply Alvarado's and Fanon's theories to these films? Do they reinforce or subvert typical black stereotypes in British film and TV? Refer to specific scenes and events in the clips in answering this question and aim for at least 350 words.
In these clips the men in the film are being shown as exotic as they are black men that are being seen as if they rap or are a gangster type of people because of the way they talk and how they were sitting. They can also be shown as dangerous as they are in a small gang but when they talk then you would know that they are harmless and dont do much. They are talking about exotic things too which makes it interesting and funny to the audience as its something that they wouldn't have thought of that they would speak about because of the representation that they have.
