Synopsis

Ish

Twelve-year-old best friends, Ish and Maram wrestle to hold onto their friendship, in the wake of a traumatic police stop & search. As the ripples take hold, the boys try to make sense of the men they are becoming – and how ‘letting go’ can be the hardest part of growing up.

The French Italian

Their friends are horrified, and regret is setting in. They start plotting their revenge— and before they know it, they’re staging an off-Broadway play…
