I did not know it was based on the real life of Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who joined a skinhead gang as a child.. and all that went with that .... It is an amazing film that you will see the ups and down as he struggles with his own identity as an immigrant in a country during a time, similar to today where they blame immigrants for the shortages or them not being able to find proper work that pays well.

I would recommend checking it out for sure

Despite starting over in a new area, the business is thriving, by any standard. Why? "Some of our success is due to the fact I didn't grow up on a farm and I didn't have to do it like daddy or granddaddy did it," she told me. Countless farmers say they succeeded because they felt confident to try a new approach to
