After the high-profile killing of Damilola Taylor, Cornelius' family move out of London. But when they discover their new town is run by racists, Cornelius takes a drastic step to survive.
"American Gods" producer Neil Gaiman, a wild imagination, and some impressive CGI help Ricky Whittle bring Shadow Moon to life.

Storyline
After the high-profile killing of Damilola Taylor, Cornelius' mother moved their family out of London only to find themselves living on an estate rife with racism. But rather than fight back, Cornelius became more like the people who hated him. Filmed with non-actors in the same locations where the real events took place 15 years ago, what follows is an extraordinary story of fractured identity and the things we do to survive. Written by Ed Perkins

This film presents a stunningly powerful comment on what it's like to be a person of a different race, and what that does to a child's need to fit in with others. If you have a heart, a conscience, or an inkling of understanding of how tough it is to be a kid in this world, you will be depressed watching this film. It simply hurts to watch it.
But it needs to be watched. We must be reminded of what it's like to be a black person in a white world, what it's like for a child who feels compelled to do anything to be accepted, and what's it like to live with a father who is simply unable to solve the chaos in your life.
As another reviewer stated, this documentary does have several reenactments, and that's a bit controversial for the documentary "purists." But whether you think that somehow disqualifies the film from the Oscars (or whatever) really misses the point. The reenactments bring the narrator's harrowing story even more clearly to life. For example, it's one thing to hear someone describe being called the n-word, it's another to see the face and hear the words from a disgusting little racist brat.
I strongly recommend this film.
