This gripping, gritty dystopian sci-fi marks the assured directorial debut of Daniel Kaluuya and Kibwe Tavares, following the journey of biker Izi (Kane Robinson, Top Boy) as he races to escape life in the confines of social housing complex ‘The Kitchen’ – and protect grieving 12-year-old Benji (newcomer Jedaiah Bannerman).
London. The near future. Izi’s (Kane Robinson) close to escaping The Kitchen, one of London’s last remaining housing estates, after social housing has been all but eradicated. But when young Benji (Jedaiah Bannerman) enters his life within the brutalist concrete jungle, he faces some hard decisions.
An affecting story of unexpected parenthood within a pulse-pounding dystopian sci-fi which deftly speaks to our modern times of social struggle and mass surveillance, this extraordinarily confident debut feature for actor-turned-director Daniel Kaluuya and architect-turned-filmmaker Kibwe Tavares arrives at Tyneside Cinema following its world premiere as the closing night film of last year’s BFI London Film Festival.
