Care on Screen: Dreamers + Q&A

Acclaimed producer Joy Gharoro-Akpojotor’s (Blue Story, Boxing Day) bold, moving directorial debut is a tender story of love and defiance. 

After fleeing persecution at home, Nigerian migrant Isio (Ronke Adekoluejo) is sent to Hatchworth Removal Centre, where she hopes her asylum plea will receive a fair hearing. Isio believes the only way out is to play by the rules, even when her charismatic roommate Farah (Ann Akinjirin), warns her otherwise. As their bond blossoms, Isio must decide whether to continue trusting in a broken system that threatens to tear them apart or to take a risk that could cost them everything.
