Definitely had to pick this one up for my collection. We need more films with a majority black cast, based in the UK with topics that are relatable to more people.
Big up @aki_oooo @Real_TheFilm @vivaverve

Took a break from CNN last night to watch excellent @Real_TheFilm, about hidden trauma & seeking acceptance. Set in Portsmouth, part of online @AiMfilmfest.
