Rocks (2020)
Movie
Released
East London's schools, flats, buses and friendship networks give a teenage girl practical options that change as her home situation worsens. Sarah Gavron keeps Bukky Bakray and the ensemble's pleasure in one another visible alongside the pressure. The city matters as a web of places where someone can be sheltered, noticed or excluded. The 2019 festival film reached wider audiences in 2020; its hardship is substantial.
