Synopsis
Four films made in four weeks. Unsaid Stories united some of the UK’s top writing, directing and acting talent to produce four films for prime time ITV in response to Black Lives Matter.
Nicholas Pinnock (For Life, Criminal: UK, Marcella) and Yasmin Monet Prince (Hanna, Dark Heart, Holby City) take the lead roles in Generational. Nicholas plays Oliver who catches his teenage daughter, Justina, sneaking out of the house to attend a Black Lives Matter march. At 16 he fears for his daughter’s safety and is concerned she’s putting herself at risk. We later learn he has every reason to persuade her not to attend.
Written by Jerome Bucchan-Nelson (Bulletproof), Generational focuses upon a bitter sweet conversation for both father and daughter, as their views differ on what it means to fight for social justice. But as the conversation progresses and elements from Oliver’s past come to the fore their positions evolve and change and they find some common ground.
