Steve McQueen talks about Subnormal: A British Scandal, a BBC One documentary about why black children in the 1960s and 1970s were disproportionately sent to schools for the so called ‘educationally subnormal’. Executive Producer Steve McQueen is joined by director Lyttanya Shannon, executive producer James Rogan and senior producer Helen Bart. Examining one of the biggest scandals in the history of British education, Subnormal: A British Scandal tells the story of how black parents, teachers and activists banded together to expose this injustice and force the education system to change. The idea originated from McQueen while he was working on the Small Axe anthology drama “Education”. The documentary has been produced by Rogan Productions, Lammas Park and Turbine Studios. Subnormal: A British Scandal airs on Thursday 20th May, 9pm, BBC One and will be available on BBC iPlayer. #Subnormal: A British Scandal Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetotheBFI Claim an extended BFI Player Subscription free trial (UK only) - subscribe using code BFIYOUTUBE: http://theb.fi/player-subscription Watch more on BFI Player: http://player.bfi.org.uk/ Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BritishFilmInstitute Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/britishfilminstitute/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BFI
