Michaela Coel's sweeping speech at the Edinburgh International Television Festival gala serves as the thread that runs through this beautiful ode to difference. Using the humour and radical honesty that characterise the celebrated author of "Chewing Gum" and "I May Destroy You" Coel takes us by the hand through her personal story and invites us to question the need to fit in vs. the potential to embrace all that makes us uniquely different. From where we speak when we speak, what are the consequences of our silence, what is our relationship with power and what have we done with it when we have had the opportunity to use it to pave the way for those who will come after us.
A celebration of singularity in the key of storytelling, with all the nuances that make Michaela Coel one of the most important and human voices in the industry.
