Not Afraid, Not Afraid

After being abandoned by her husband after 28 years, an overbearing, self-centered psychologist embarks on a quest to revisit her past loves, accompanied by her 6-year-old grandson, who has Down syndrome, after he turns up unexpectedly in her van.

Directed by Annette Carducci, Not Afraid, Not Afraid leans on a strong ensemble — Jack Davenport, Miriam Margolyes, Paul McGlinchey — 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 2001.
