Farming

About This Movie

Farming (2018) is quite a layered piece—drawing heavily from the director's own life experiences. It’s a slow burn, but the pacing fits the themes of identity and belonging. The story, about a Nigerian boy placed with a British family, takes a dark turn as he navigates through a world of skinheads. The atmosphere is tense; you can really feel the struggle of dual identity and the impact of environment on a young mind. The performances are gritty and raw, particularly from the lead, who captures that inner conflict so well. It’s distinct in how it portrays both cultural clash and the unexpected paths that life can take. Definitely a conversation starter among collectors in its depiction of race and upbringing.
