How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gentle, earnest story of two teenage girls from opposite sides of the world, and opposite sides of apartheid, discovering unexpected connection and challenging each other's inherited prejudices. It's a film about the transformative power of seeing someone as a person rather than a stereotype.
