Between 1970 and 1988 Richard Woolley created a body of exciting and challenging work that has remained almost impossible to see until now. Tackling controversial themes, such as class, race, sexuality and the human instinct for violence, Woolley directed a number of racial and uncompromising films, which explores the ways we relate to, and ultimately destroy, one another even as we strive to develop the means to better understand and communicate with those around us. This collection offers the long-overdue opportunity to experience first-hand the power of such extraordinary and unique films as: 1976's Illusive Crime which caused outrage upon its release; Telling Tales, the much acclaimed soap-meets-Straub debut feature from 1978; 1981's controversial Brothers and Sisters, set against a backdrop of Yorkshire Ripper-style murders; and Woolley's final film, Girl from the South (1988) that views black Britons through the prism of an interracial relationship.
