Destiny Ekaragha

Destiny Ekaragha is a filmmaker from the UK, best known for her feature-length comedy Gone Too Far! Ekaragha is only the third British Black woman (following Ngozi Onwurah and Amma Asante) to have directed a feature-length film that was given theatrical distribution in the UK. Her follow-up, Danny and the Human Zoo, a BBC One TV film, is a fictionalised account of Sir Lenny Henry's life as a teenager in 1970s Dudley.
