SOFA SCREENINGS
Set in Bedfordshire, Ish follows two best friends at the tail end of childhood, forced to enter adolescence when racial profiling, followed by a traumatic police stop-and-search, tears the two apart. Ish faces the reality of how young brown boys are treated in the UK, and must learn how to navigate a world of constant surveillance.
Featuring a lavish black-and-white presentation, the stark visuals complement the gritty drama as we follow a young boy’s battle with personal trauma and the realities of growing up in small-town England as a minority.
Stories of Home is a BFI and National Lottery-funded project which seeks to bring accessible screenings for communities across Swindon, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. Showcasing stories that explore film as a vehicle for community and togetherness, while also creating a welcoming and inclusive space that encourages connection and conversation with others.
