Through living archives and retrospective accounts, this great documentary traces the legacy of Arthur Ashe, the first black tennis player to be selected for the USA Davis Cup team and make waves in “a game that whites dominated” (and still do).

This feature-length documentary manages to be many things at once. It’s a postcard from a very specific era (the early 1980s, when Thatcherism clashed with London’s post-punk S&M lesbianism). It’s a guide to rowdy activism (topics are seen rappelling down the House of Lords and invading live news broadcasts). It’s a consistently angry reaction to Section 28. It’s home to one of the best Ian McKellen interviews you’ll ever hear, complete with a startling dental dam anecdote. In short, it has everything. Stuart Legacy
