Directed by Shola Amoo • 2016 • United Kingdom
Starring Tanya Fear, Hussina Raja, Aki Omoshaybi
Blending fiction, documentary, and performance art, this incisive and heartfelt exploration of class, community, and social upheaval follows Nina (Tanya Fear), a young artist, as she returns to London’s Brixton neighborhood after a long absence. There she is soon painted as a symbol of gentrification and struggles with her complicity, while forming a three-way relationship with an actor (Alex Austin) and a Nigerian performance artist (Aki Omoshaybi), who have very different views on the changes taking place around them. During an unnaturally hot summer in London, Nina sets out to create the ultimate piece of art to explore her complex relationship with her community. In doing so, she poses a tricky question: is she truly part of the problem or can she use her work to be part of the solution?
