International Premiere
Festival history

Lifetime Barking residents Susan and Jeff have never said hello to their Nigerian neighbours, insisting that “they are not our people.” Dave is so incensed by the influx of non-white faces to Barking he becomes a BNP activist. Meanwhile, African Betty and Holocaust survivor Monty form an unusual relationship based on laughter and affection, despite disapproving stares. Director Marc Isaacs is an unseen but prominent presence: questioning prejudices, and prying at preconceptions with remarkable results. A charming often funny examination of modern attitudes in an increasingly multiethnic Britain.
