Summary
"Catch a Fire" is an award-winning documentary/drama that tells the story of a baptist deacon, Paul Bogle, often described as a 19th century Malcom X, and George William Gordon, a wealthy mulatto politician. 30 years after the end of slavery in Jamaica, Bogle was the leader of the Morant Bay Rebellion of 1865. This rebellion provoked outrage in Victorian Britain and had a major impact on colonial attitudes to race and Empire. The story is constructed using extensive interviews with Paul Bogle's grandson as well as archival material.
