Jemima and Johnny 1966 film
![]() |
Jemima and Johnny was a short film made in 1966 about the racial tensions in Britain at the time. |
When five-year-old white boy Johnny meets Jemima, fresh off the boat from Jamaica, he leads her on a wide-eyed tour of the local neighbourhood. But when the children recklessly make their den in a derelict house, their peril causes Johnny's father to question his racist views.' - taken from the BFI I really really enjoyed this film it was filmed very much like the BFI's Shadows of Progress where you get an insight into the locals lives and is shot with the same conversational tones as the kitchen sink films but is concerned with a much more important and concerning issue. |
