Hakeem: film screening
19/09/2026 From 6.30pm
Join Dock'n Roll at Rio Cinema for a special screening of Hakeem, a documentary following British singer and rapper Hak Baker. This screening is part of The Music is Black Festival from East Bank, an eight-month series of events celebrating Black British music.
Hakeem is an unconventional music documentary for a very unconventional musician which follows Hak Baker over five years. Directed by the filmmaking duo of DEADHORSES (James Topley and Ivo Beckett), Hakeem balances profundity and profanity as Baker confronts the traumas of class and masculinity in the wake of his sudden stardom. An anarchic yet sincere portrait of British lad culture, full of arresting aesthetics and savage honesty, this is more than a chronicle of a musician's life – it’s a fascinating and intimate portrait of existential angst, brotherhood and hope in the face of the taboos that surround male mental health.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A and live acoustic set with Hak Baker.
