What to see this week on the platforms?

Well one of the most anticipated series of the year, airing on Amazon Prime and starting today on Salto.

“If you're the big tree, we're the little ax ready to bring you down,” Bob Marley sang.

It is the great tree of injustice and racism that the British artist Steve McQueen attacks in the series Small Ax ("Small ax"): 5 films from the 1960s to the 1980s where he tells the story blacks in Britain, with racism, police and institutional, in the background.
