PARTING SHOT
When it comes to cinema, there can be a gap between what’s reality and what’s featured on screen. But Irish director Frank Berry takes the viewer so deep into a world that they might feel they’ve experienced what they’ve seen on screen themselves.
His latest film, Aisha, brings us into the world of the title character, Aisha Osagie. She’s a young Nigerian woman who has come to Ireland seeking asylum. The film takes its time revealing what happened to her, as we see Aisha enduring a long and bureaucratic process in her attempt to stay in Ireland.
Aoife Barry sat down with the director to discuss the project.
