EXCLUSIVE: Here’s a clip from Letitia Wright and Josh O’Connor-starring Aisha, which will premiere at Tribeca in three days’ time.
Wright plays the lead, a young Nigerian woman seeking asylum in Ireland floundering in a maze of social services and bureaucracy. As her situation becomes increasingly dire, she struggles to maintain hope and dignity against the looming threat of deportation.
Wright said of the clip: “This moment is a breaking point for Aisha, she has to hold it together during a time that’s incredibly difficult.”
The film, which will be given its world premiere in Tribeca’s Spotlight Narrative section, comes from Frank Berry (Michael Inside, I Used to Live Here) and also features The Crown breakout O’Connor.
Producers are Tristan Orpen Lynch, Donna Eperon, Aiofe O’Sullivan and Sam Bisbee. Cornerstone is selling U.S. and international.
