This bold feature-length documentary confronts the fractures shaping modern Britain. The BAFTA and MOBO award-winning artist, bestselling author, and social entrepreneur, Akala, asks: Is the system rigged? Is Britain too divided to fix? And what future awaits our young people?
To uncover answers, Akala travels the country, blending personal reflection, candid interviews, and striking archive footage; from anti-immigration protests in Altrincham and striking bin workers in Birmingham to London’s housing crisis. Akala captures unfiltered voices; honest accounts of white working-class identity, raw reflections on racism, and insights from figures like MP Zarah Sultana and football legend Rio Ferdinand.
The film also questions media narratives and waning trust in traditional institutions. Urgent and provocative, it paints a visceral portrait of a nation unravelling, but ultimately offers hope, spotlighting grassroots efforts fighting for young people and a fairer future. A reckoning with Britain’s past, present, and possibilities.
