The Wisemans are a Jewish family living in south London in the 1960s. Eleven-year-old David dreams of becoming a cricket star but is ridiculed by his classmates for his lack of skill. Enter the Samuels, the lively Jamaican family that moves in next door. Dennis Samuels (Delroy Lindo) erects a cricket net in their backyard and soon takes David under his wing and teaches him the game. But the new arrivals are not welcomed by all, and the Wisemans are forced to choose between aligning with the prejudices of the neighborhood and sticking by their new friends. The Observer: “Paul Morrison’s film is charming and moving.” Sponsored by Onion River Sports. Community Partner: Beth Jacob Synagogue. Rated PG, 106 minutes. Review
