The Last Tree (2019 Shola Amoo & scr)

Young fostered black boy is reclaimed by his birth mother (Can you just do that? I wouldn't have thought so) and taken away to London, where almost inevitably he becomes a gang member. She doesn't seem to love him so I don't know why she did it really.

Anyway, he grows up and seems to have found a better path in life, then there's a really weird coda in his home country (in Africa) where his father turns out to be a rich shit.

Femi is played by Tai Golding and Sam Adewunmi.

It's all slightly annoying, though the sweetest moment is when he plays with the young foster kid - like he's his kid brother.
