    Very Good Movie

    A thought provoking movie which goes beyond was is initially perceived at the start of the movie - Immigration. Though reminiscent of Dirty Pretty Things, it is more much a movie about a hopelessness and fear as a constant human condition as well as that innate human ability to survive despite the odds.

    An excellent independent movie with a good cast and a fabulous plot. I love the concept of a movie about immigration by immigrants, surely no one else is better qualified to tell the story well.

    Definitely deserving of the numerous awards including the audience choice awards at the recent Hollywood Black Film Festival and The Bite the Mango Award, Bradford. Very Good Job indeed!
