Furthermore, the meaning of walking with fear after an all-too-common altercation with a white man, John. Goofing off with friends, Celeste accidentally falls onto John’s lawn, upsetting him. Because of his irrational reaction and becoming verbally abusive, the teenagers try to defend themselves until John takes out his gun and fires it, claiming self-defense. What the teenagers discover afterward about John, leaves them paralyzed and helpless.

We Were Kids

A five year old girl is caught in middle of a struggle between her recently widowed father and his elderly aunt who disagree on how best to adapt to the customs and laws of their newly adopted home in the United Kingdom. The aunt’s failure to abandon ancient African tribal traditions, including the harmful practice of FGM or female genital mutilation, leads to potentially devastating consequences for the young girl. All six characters in the film are played by one remarkable female actor, Mimi Ndiweni.
