   Where does Amoo live now?

   • Now in his 30s, Amoo still lives in the stretch of London where he spent his later childhood. Shooting in Elephant and Castle, he rarely had to walk more than 10 minutes from his flat.

   Why did Amoo make a film?

   • Amoo was a bright and inquisitive child. He read the Odyssey and Malcolm X before he was out of his teens. At university, he studied journalism. Required to make a documentary, he made a short film about the stabbing of a friend. Something clicked. “I realised film could hold everything that fascinated me: literature, music, performance.”

   Why was Amoo a radical idyll?

   • To Amoo, the more radical choice was an idyll for the young Femi. “No one expects to see a happy black kid in that environment, just living life. But somewhere that remote, a carer can filter out a lot.” In London, Amoo created a child’s-eye view, a world of noise and dazzle, tower blocks like brutalist spaceships.
