Three Kids Struggle To Endure a Broken System in Heartwarming Trailer For SCARBOROUGH

A trailer has been released for a heartwarming and powerful drama titled Scarborough. This "life-affirming” story centers on three kids from low-income families who are forced to navigate through a broken system. On their journey, they find friendship and community in an unlikely place.

The film is adapted from the critically acclaimed novel by Catherine Hernandez, and it’s described as “an unflinching portrait of three low-income families struggling to endure within a system that’s set them up for failure. It shows the love and perseverance communities can foster, lifting up families to overcome the obstacles placed in their way. Taking place over the span of a school year, Shasha Nakhai and Rich Williamson’s debut narrative feature follows three interwoven families fighting an uphill struggle against debt, addiction, and job insecurity.”

It’s explained that the film is about the "collective refusal to be fractured by individual challenges and instead be brought together through kindness and solidarity. The directors' exacting attention to detail frames the vibrant, rapidly changing neighbourhood with a universality and compassion that makes the film strikingly humanistic."

The movie stars Liam Diaz, Essence Fox, Anna Claire Beitel, Felix Jedi Ingram Isaac, Ellie Posadas, and Cherish Violet Blood. LevelFilm will debut Scarborough in select Canadian cinemas starting on February 25th, 2022. This looks like a beautifully made film worth checking out.
