So, The Devil’s Own Colour, right? It’s this fascinating documentary from 1981 that dives deep into the life of Peter Blackman. The film captures his journey from Barbados to the UK in the '30s, framed around his disillusionment with British colonialism. The atmosphere is quite raw, almost intimate, and you can really feel the weight of his experiences. The pacing is reflective, allowing you to sit with his thoughts and the environment he found himself in. What stands out is Blackman's shift from aspiring Anglican priest to Communist, a radical transformation that’s stirred by the rigid society he witnessed. The documentary’s practical effects are minimal but effective, creating this haunting sense of reality that pulls you in.
