Based on the Olivier Award-winning stage play by Bola Agbaje, first performed at The Royal Court, the warm, sparky Gone Too Far! is the feature debut of director Destiny Ekaragha and follows two estranged teenage brothers over the course of a single day as they meet for the first time, and struggle to accept each other for who they are.
When London teenager Yemi’s big brother Iku comes to live with him from Nigeria, his terrible fashion sense, broad Yoruba accent and misplaced confidence with the opposite sex threaten to destroy Yemi’s already limited street cred.
But when they’re forced to spend the day together on their Peckham estate, Yemi is forced to confront local bullies, the girl of his dreams and his own African heritage, and eventually together they learn the values of family and self-respect.
Join us at GFT for screening of Gone Too Far! and discussion. The discussion will be co-hosted by Amy Rich, Communities and Campaigns Officer at the Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights and Angie Mwafulirwa, director of Sharpen Her: the African Women's Network. Along with some of the members of Sharpen Her, we will be discussing the immigrant experience in the UK through the theme of the film.
