5 star review for ‘After the Flood’

Premier Christianity magazine has given the new MJR documentary ‘After the Flood: the church, slavery and reconciliation‘ a 5-star review, describing it as a “beautifully made, informative and moving documentary, well worth an hour of your time.” Despite the nature of some of the content, the film is not “angry”, but “thoughtful, well-made, engaging content.”

It notes that since the murder of George Floyd, there have been “numerous films made and books written about slavery and racism, but few that focus on the active and disgraceful role of UK churches”.

“​Superb on-location shots from the West Indies and the UK are interspersed with insights from theologians and academics who, despite their great learning, communicate well in plain, everyday English! It is incredibly well made and watchable” Read the whole review here.
