The movie stars Genevieve Nnaji and chronicles Adewale’s life and upbringing. The cast includes Damson Idris, Kate Beckinsale, John Dagleish, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Jaime Winstone, Genevieve Nnaji, and Zephan Amissah.
Confirming the deal, Lionsgate U.K. CEO Zygi Kamasa said, “Adewale’s debut is an extremely personal look at a moment in time that needs to be seen by everyone. With a powerful script that brings to life the little-remembered social experiment of the ’60s and transformative performances from the cast, ‘Farming’ is a film that boldly asks questions of society back then and today.”
Farming is set in the 1960s and follows Enitan, a young Nigerian boy played by newcomer Damson Idris. He is farmed out by his parents to a white British family in the hope of giving him a better future.
