Leave to Remain

Leave To Remain is an important film about young asylum seekers who have arrived in the UK by themselves. Trying to navigate a confusing system with the UK Home Office whilst struggling with the daily problems of being a teenagers, Bruce Goodison has brought together a range of intimate stories in his script. I was impressed by the talent of the young cast, many who hadn't acted before and were taking on a big subject that required emotional depth.

Huge congratulations must also be given to Alt-J who provided a haunting score for this film.

A must see for all young people to learn more about what the asylum process is and the kinds of things that children have experienced in other countries that leads them to the UK. Would encourage schools and Universities to go and watch the film.
