Our annual collaboration with Sheffield Doc/Fest sees the 2008 national tour of festival highlights kick-started at BFI Southbank, then returning with a full programme in May.
Lifetime Barking residents Susan and Jeff have never said hello to their Nigerian neighbours, insisting that "they are not our people." Dave becomes a BNP activist even though his daughters have relationships with the very people he is lashing out against. Meanwhile, African Betty and Holocaust survivor Monty form a relationship based on laughter and affection, despite disapproving stares. A charming, often funny examination of modern attitudes in multi-ethnic Britain.
The screening will be introduced by director Mark Isaacs, and there will be a Q&A with him and a couple of the subjects of the film.
