Synopsis

Enitan is a young Nigerian boy ‘farmed out’ by his parents to a white British family in the hope of a better future. Caught between two worlds and belonging to neither, his need for acceptance is exploited by the adults in his life, transforming him into the feared leader of a white skinhead gang.

Our take

Culled from his own troubled yet inspiring life story, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje’s directorial debut is an unflinchingly confrontational exorcism of personal demons. A labor of love and fury, the film viscerally tackles gang violence and internalized racism in a brutally anti-immigrant 1980s Britain.
