Director Sarah Gavron’s (BRICK LANE, SUFFRAGETTE) is another strong female film this time entering around a black teen school girl under serious duress. Her mother has not returned home and she has to look after her younger brother while trying to dodge social services.
Her mother has left before but this time has not come back and looks like never going to. This is the story of Shola (a remarkable Bukky Bakrov) in what translates to guerrilla filmmaking where the camera follows the girl on all her activities. Director Gavin demonstrates that life is not easy for the less fortunate.
