Anita and Me
Directed by Metin Hüseyin
Produced by Starfield Productions, EM Media
A warm, nostalgic coming-of-age story about a young Indian girl navigating friendship, cultural identity, and belonging in 1970s working-class England.
Meena, a 12-year-old living in a mining village in the English Midlands in 1972, is the daughter of Indian parents who've come to England to give her a better life. This idyllic existence is upset by the arrival in the village of Anita Rutter and her dysfunctional family.
