Set in the wake of the London bombings of July 2005, LONDON RIVER is a poignant story about two strangers who find comfort amidst the uncertainty and fear of the time.
Blethyn (LITTLE VOICE) plays a Christian woman named Elisabeth who journeys to London in search of her missing daughter.
Meanwhile a Muslim man (Kouyaté, DIRTY PRETTY THINGS) embarks on a similar trip to locate his son, but instead finds Elisabeth and forms an unlikely friendship that acts as a metaphor for a nation's collective grief and defiant unity.
Premiering to acclaim at the Berlin Film Festival in 2009, Bouchareb's (DAYS OF GLORY) film is a sensitive drama that never shies away from reflecting on the state of Britain's multicultural society.
