Ish

Imran Perretta’s feature debut is a tender and powerful coming of age story, set against the backdrop of Britain’s fraught political landscape.

In a Bedfordshire town, teenagers Ish and Maram are inseparable. Their friendship however is tested when they become the targets of police harassment. Shot in striking monochrome and accompanied by a distinctive score, this is a bold British film that places marginalised characters at its centre and exposes the deep-rooted biases that continue to run through society.

Contains flashing lights and imagery. 

"Imran Perretta’s feature debut bursts with life thanks to its magnificent central performances." — Hannah Strong, Little White Lies
