Kudos to Warren Dudley for this taut and moving child-trafficking drama centered on a powerhouse performance by Veronica Jean Trickett with a top-rate supporting cast. When single mom Carrie suffers every parent's worst nightmare, her attempts to keep her iife together, including caring for her dementia affected mother, collide with the grim realities of being working-poor in the UK. Dudley keeps the pace of the film moving along while subtly exposing, in a Ken Loachian way, the systemic injustices, mysogyny and racism inherent in Little Britain, and the creeping horror of the white-van men in our midst. Shot in a a spare, cinema verité, radical 1st person style - this movie will stay with you and make you think.
