Description

“Farming [DVD] is a gripping drama based on the true story of writer-director Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje’s turbulent youth. Set in 1980s England, the film stars Damson Idris as Enitan, a Nigerian boy ‘farmed out’ to a white working-class family, leading to an identity crisis and involvement with a skinhead gang. Kate Beckinsale delivers a standout performance as his foster mother, while Gugu Mbatha-Raw adds depth as a compassionate teacher. Exploring themes of race, belonging, and self-discovery, Farming offers a powerful and emotional narrative that resonates with its raw portrayal of cultural dislocation and personal transformation.”
