Suicide Squad's Adewale AkinnuoyeAgbaje turns writer/director to revisit his own youth in a striking if unsophisticated biopic. As a child, Enitan's Nigerian parents have him raised by a white family in '60s London - the 'farming' that the title refers to. As a teen (Damson Idris, compelling), Enitan falls in with a white-supremacist skinhead gang. Yes, really. The shocking true story is undeniably fascinating, but it's underserved by the somewhat unpolished filmmaking; at times the low budget feels all too apparent. Still, Idris shows true potential, and Kate Beckinsale plays pleasingly against type as Enitan's workingclass adoptive mum.
