Hostile

Winner of the Best Feature Documentary award at the 2021 South London Film Festival, this film from producer and first-time director Sonita Gale focuses on the UK’s complicated relationship with its migrant communities.

What does it mean to be British? What does it feel like to be told you don't belong? Told through the stories of four participants from Black and Asian backgrounds, the film focuses on the impact of the UK government's evolving 'hostile environment' policies, designed to make living conditions so difficult for migrants that they voluntarily leave the country.
