Film director, who has fully recovered, backs campaign to address disproportionate impact of disease on Black men

The Oscar-winning film director and artist Steve McQueen has revealed that he paused the filming of his latest production Blitz in order to be treated for prostate cancer.

McQueen, whose father died of the disease in 2006, has spoken for the first time about his own treatment, which led to a tumour being removed in November 2022.
