About Maternal
As a young daughter waits for acceptance to her dream arts program, her excitement turning to despondence as time goes on, her Caribbean mother must make a heart-wrenching decision to make sure her daughter escapes the cycle of poverty the two are caught in.
Directed by Andrew Simpson, Maternal leans on a strong ensemble — Millie Davis, Khadijah Roberts-Abdullah — 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 2018.
