With his career in ruins, and with his life at a crossroads, Joe Pasacale (Shakespearian actor David Oyelowo) is forced to come to the unhappy conclusion that all of his problems stem from black people - that is, his very own community. British-Nigerian director Onwurah and screenwriter Sharon Foster interrogate the notion of black self-image (and self-loathing) with the audacity of a young Spike Lee in this funny, provocative and frequently scathing debut feature: following Joe's progress through the world, from idealistic teacher, accused of racism by the very students he was trying to help, to homeless London beggar - via detours in an evangelical Christian community, a spell in a government employment agency, and an interlude as a loving, if insecure boyfriend - they also chronicle his journey into paranoia and madness.
