Rag Tag

Raymond and Tagbo met when they were eight. Although from radically different worlds— Raymond/Rag is from a single-parent West Indian home, while Tagbo/Tag is the only son of middle-class Nigerian parents— they remain inseparable until the cusp of their teens. Social Services take Rag from London. Ten years later, Rag returns to find Tag. They still want to be together. But now twenty-three, their need has shifted into something more urgent and consuming.

Directed by Adaora Nwandu, Rag Tag leans on a strong ensemble — Daniel Parsons, Adedamola Adelaja, Tamsin Clarke — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2006.
