Fight the Power: How Hip-Hop Changed the World
Saturday, 9pm, BBC Two
Public Enemy Chuck D leads this fascinating four-part documentary that tells the history of hip-hop. Bringing the story to life with immersive archival footage and interviews with leading academics and leading artists (such as Grandmaster Caz, Ice-T, and Roxanne Shanté), this week’s first double bill begins in ’60s America with the dawn of the Black Power movement. Hip-hop would then emerge from the ashes of the neglected Bronx. “Hip-hop was created by oppression, because it was our art that defended us against oppression,” says KRS-One. It’s a cracking series that captures the infuriatingly bad moments and exhilarating highs behind a music that has influenced generations. Holly Richardson

Movie selection
Dave Bank, Netflix
The true story of self-made Burnley millionaire Dave Fishwick, who lends money to local businesses with profits going to charity, has become a gentle comedy, if far from the facts. Here, London solicitor Joel Fry Hoo — hired by slave-owner Dave (Rory Kinnear) to legitimize his venture as a bank — has his prejudices dismantled by the town’s friendship. It’s a classic British underdog story, with some crack courtroom drama, upstart town sidekicks and Def Leppard as deus ex machina. Simon Wardle
Hanging sun 10.50am, 8pm Sky Cinema premiere
Francesco Carrozzini’s adaptation of Joe Nesbo’s novel Midnight Sun is far from the harrowing twists and turns of the Scandi-noir author’s usual production. Instead, it’s a tale of redemption, in which taciturn stranger Alessandro Borghi hides away from his family of crime in a very beautiful but bewildering religious community in the far north. He is soon drawn into the life of abused wife Jessica Brown Findley and their son. Charles Dance and Peter Mullan provide the dramatic heft, while hope tentatively peers through the gloom. Southwest
Berberian Sound Studio, 11.45pm, Movie 4
A film that is listened to as much as seen, Peter Strickland’s unsettling retro-chiller delves into the murky world of cinematic post-production. Toby Jones plays Gilderoy, an unworldly sound engineer who travels to Italy to oversee the effects on a horror picture. We don’t see the work in progress, only the screams of the (mostly female) actors and the evisceration of various fruits and vegetables as violent, misogynistic images begin to mess with Gilderoy’s mind – so much so that he falls out of sync with reality. . Unstable fare. Southwest
