Femi

2017, 10 minutes

A little girl is confronted by one of the most important decisions of her life when she finds an immigrant boy sleeping in her shed.

This is a story of compassion and understanding. It brings together two people from different worlds. Femi, is a 16-year-old boy who has illegally immigrated over to England from Nigeria, in search of his Auntie and Uncle in London. After months of traveling, Femi has found himself in a small town just outside of London, taking refuge inside a garden shed. He has done well to get to where he is, but this all about to change when 9-year-old Bonnie finds Femi, asleep in her father's shed. Will Bonnie panic and run off to tell her mother and father, or will her innocence and curiosity get the better of her, enough to give Femi a chance to explain himself?
