Diembe

A basketball-mad Kenyan boy moves to the North of England in 2001, only to be met with ignorance, racism and bad weather.

Diembe is a coming-of-age comedy drama about a young Kenyan boy who moves to Northern England in the early 2000s with his mother, who is to work as a nurse in a NHS hospital.

The story is about a basketball-loving Kenyan boy. It touches on themes of racism, acceptance and overcoming prejudice to make a better society. Think The Sandlot meets This is England.
