In May 2024, journalist Jason Okundaye wrote a piece in The Guardian describing the challenges he faced in finding an episode of The Black Bag, discussing the difficulty and challenges of retaining Black archival spaces, and of accessing heritage media. In this screening and Q&A, Jason joins us to explore Black, queer-focusing media of the Multicultural TV era, its impact, and the afterlives of this heritage.
