About Language is the Key
This documentary is constructed in two parts. Part one deals with the suppression of other ‘minority’ cultures, part two looks at the ways these cultures are fighting back. The film includes contributions from Prof. Stuart Hall (The Open University), Prof, Bikkhu Parekh (Commission for Racial Equality), Prof. Gwyn Williams (Historian/Author), Benjamin Zephaniah (Poet), teachers and children, with experiences of Gujarati, Caribbean, Creole and Welsh.
Directed by Yugesh Walia, Language is the Key leans on a strong ensemble — Bhikhu Parekh, Benjamin Zephaniah, Stuart Hall — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1985.
