About The White King
Djata is a care-free 12-year-old growing up in a brutal dictatorship shut off from the outside world. When the government imprisons his father, Peter, and Djata and his mother Hannah are labeled traitors, the boy will not rest until he sees his father again.
Directed by Alex Helfrecht, Jörg Tittel, The White King leans on a strong ensemble — Lorenzo Allchurch, Agyness Deyn, Fiona Shaw — 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 2016.
