The film depicts the effects of the stigma, stereotypes and myths and also highlights the views of various people in my community.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of the film is to help eradicate the negative views associated with black people and swimming as well as encouraging more to learn to swim thus reducing the number of deaths by drowning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Plot<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ed Accura (Frank Awuah) is a black British man who after watching an upsetting news report on bad weather and flooding, develops an acute phobia with water. His anxiety with not being able to swim and irrational fears of drowning pushes him into buying a life jacket which he wears everywhere he goes.\u00a0Ed is torn between his friends who try and encourage him to learn how to swim and society who dramatically dampen his confidence with stereotypes on black people and their inability to swim. \u00a0The film combines acting with real interview footage of various members of the community voicing their thoughts on the subject.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_20855\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V-XEgj7gWko?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"A Film Called Black Cant Swim    Official Trailer\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/V-XEgj7gWko\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Why do you think it is that so many people in the UK black community of minorities\u00a0are unable to swim?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The project originally started with the soundtrack of the film which asked whether it\u2019s a cultural or physical thing?<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Personally my views is that it is a priority issue.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Maybe the reason is it doesn\u2019t feature that high on many BAMEs priority list.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What do you feel can be done to fix this?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is an issue that has been transcending \u00a0over a number of generations and I strongly believe awareness and education is the best fix.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The objective is:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>\u2022 Confronting our fears (more swimming and less drowning)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Addressing the stereotypes<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Dispelling the myths.<\/p>\n<p>Together with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kushfilms.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kush Films<\/a> and SpaceDNA my production company, we are not going to stop until every one that can learn from this has seen it.
