What people are saying
‘Tour-de-force filmmaking that defies conventions in its search for the truth about what makes us the people we are… Knockout work that refuses to toe the line of conventional thought.‘
Kaleem Aftab
‘Searing and provocative… A formidable debut… Boisterous and kinetic… As daring as it sounds… Even Spike Lee at his most provocative might shy away from material as subversive as this.‘
Rory O'Connor
‘An affecting and confident debut. A gripping and painful story of dislocation and belonging.‘
Lovia Gyarkye
‘An extraordinary directorial debut — based on actual events — in which form and content fuse to discover a new cinematic language.‘
