In Black and Blue, viewers get to see Naomie Harris as a strong, Black female lead that is willing to risk it all to expose the real enemies to society. Though the tone of the film is at times gritty, the overall message is inspirational. The message of doing what’s right no matter what is a major theme. Additionally, for the first time in cinematic history is a Black female playing a police officer as a lead. I recently had the opportunity to speak with Naomie Harris and the cast of this very timely movie. In this brief interview, Harris gets transparent about her role as Alicia West, a rookie cop, and how her character depicts the intersection of being both Black and “blue,” and the positive representation of a Black female fighting for change from the inside out and more.
