◆ The Feature

Colour. Creed. Country. is a cinematic exploration of 200 years of British boxing history, tracing the untold legacy of Black fighters who shaped the sport — from early pioneers Bill Richmond and Tom Molineaux to the modern generation. Blending rare archival material and first-hand testimony, it presents boxing not just as a sport but as a cultural force that has shaped music, fashion, language and British identity itself. Breaking Barriers: The Paula Dunn Olympic Story, directed by Kane Dunn, follows the 1988 Olympic sprinter and first Black female Head Coach of UK Athletics — an athlete who chose parenthood over fame and reshaped British athletics along the way.
