QUAD in Derby is hosting a special screening of Milestone: Streets Paved With Gold on Friday 23 October at 7pm. This compelling film, adapted from Victor Richards' powerful play, offers a poignant exploration of the experiences of the Windrush generation and the significant impact of Caribbean migration to Britain. The narrative centres on the life of Augustus Cleveland Johnson, charting his journey from his arrival in 1948. The film delves into his decades of resilience, the importance of family and culture, and the complex evolution of his identity in a new land. It's a moving testament to the enduring spirit of those who shaped modern Britain. Following the screening, there will be an opportunity to engage directly with the filmmakers during a dedicated Q&A session, providing further insight into the making of this important piece of cinema.
The screening of Milestone: Streets Paved With Gold will be a 60-minute cinematic journey, blending voiceover, vivid recreations, and historical archives to immerse viewers in a heartfelt tribute to the Windrush generation. Filmed across Leicester and the Midlands, the film is a sensory celebration of Caribbean-British heritage.
The event will feature a Q&A session hosted by Devon Daley of Feel Good Film Club, with writer and star Victor Richards in attendance. This will provide an opportunity for attendees to engage directly with the filmmakers and gain further insight into the making of the film.
