Ear for Eye
2021 British film by debbie tucker green
Ear for Eye (stylized as ear for eye) is a 2021 British drama film, written and directed by debbie tucker green, based upon her play of the same name.

Like the play, the characters are anonymous members of anonymous British and American families, telling their stories of the racial injustice experienced by Black citizens; in the play, they are simply identified as Mom, Dad, Woman and so on, though the film credits add UK or US to these identifiers.
The film had its world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on 16 October 2021, and aired on the BBC on the same day.
