I Am Slave
Reviews
-
A story centred around the rarely-discussed African slave trade that plagues Europe today. In his film I Am Slave, Gabriel Range manages to make a very real problem a fantastic story with depth. The gripping nature of the film creates a necessary dialogue about a problem many thought was over at the close of the 19th century; however we are shown that this past is still very much a problem of today.
Elliot Penn Toronto Film Scene -
Together Brock, Range and Mosaku created a film of jolting accuracy and real emotional clout. To convince audiences that something so appalling is taking place right under their noses seemed an impossible task, but it would be a cynical viewer indeed who wasn’t moved by I Am Slave.
Josh Prince The Telegraph -
Like “Death of a President,” the film is technically very impressive, with the handheld widescreen lensing by Robbie Ryan, the work of production designer Christina Casali and the score by Harry Escott and Molly Nyman all neatly contrasting scorching-hot Sudan (actually shot in Kenya) and dark, wintertime London.
