Synopsis

Set against the backdrop of the 2011 UK summer riots, ‘Urban Hymn’ follows a young female offender who possesses a remarkable voice and a determined social worker who inspires her to use it.

Our take

Set in the wake of the 2011 London riots, this gritty drama from director Michael Caton-Jones gives an early leading role to BAFTA Rising Star-winner Letitia Wright (Black Panther). Bolstered by a terrific ensemble—and a Billy Bragg cameo—Urban Hymn is a movingly inspirational tale of tough love.
