Netflix has released the trailer for Kibwe Tavares and Daniel Kaluuya’s science-fiction drama The Kitchen, which was selected as the closing night film for the 67th BFI London Film Festival.
Based on an idea by Kaluuya, Kibwe Tavares (Noughts + Crosses) and Daniel Emmerson (Calm with Horses), The Kitchen “is set in London, 2044, a future where the gap between rich and poor has been stretched to its limits. All forms of social housing have been eradicated and London’s working classes have been forced to live in temporary accommodation on the outskirts of the city, The Kitchen is the first and the largest of its kind, it’s London’s last village harbouring residents that refuse to move on and move out of the place they call home. It’s here we meet Izi, a resident of the kitchen who is desperately trying to find a way out and 12-year-old, Benji, who has lost his mother and is searching for a family. We follow our unlikely pair as they battle to survive in a system that is stacked against them.”
Starring Kane Robinson, Jedaiah Bannerman, Hope Ikpoku Jr, Teija Kabs, Demmy Ladipo, Cristale, and BackRoad Gee. Check out the trailer below…
