Caught up in an escalating chain of violent events, will he have to make the ultimate sacrifice?
Reviews
“Anuva barrel of ’hood clichés it might be, but the sharp cast and snappy
script (by Chin and co-star Michael Maris) make it fresher and funnier than it
sounds.” – Totalfilm
“The performances are strong and credible and in particular Ashley Chin and Letitia Wright’s strong performances stand out as the troubled siblings struggling with inner city life… the strong, energetic performances and the sensitive handling of inner city subject matter make this worth seeing.” – Britflicks
