Fourteen-year-old aspiring rapper Shabu is not having a good time. The Dutch-Surinamese teen stole and crashed his grandmother’s car, leaving her fuming and him having to work all summer to pay her back. Tired of odd jobs, Shabu decides to stage a block party to showcase his talents as a rapper and, most importantly, win his grandma over. The irresistibly charming and resourceful Shabu will steal your heart in Shamira Raphaëla’s hilarious, upbeat, better-than-fiction documentary.

After the screening there will be time to discuss the film and surrounding issues. The screening aims to be a place of support and belonging for People of Colour and a place where white allies can take responsibility for their own learning. We hope to raise searching questions and explore issues in a supportive environment. It’s OK to make mistakes but please own your mistakes. 

As this is our last screening of the season, people are invited to bring food for a pot luck celebration. Please label your dish to inform those with dietary restrictions. There is, however, no obligation to bring food. Some light refreshments will be provided. 

The screening will take place at Flourish House which is a wheelchair accessible venue.

Flourish House is a short walk from a First Bus no.4 bus stop and St George’s Cross subway station. There are limited parking spaces directly outside the building along with parking payment meters.
