![]() Millie is a Jamaican girl with a peculiar nickname: Banana Girl. The main difference is that they are about to underestimate this “boy” who declares by the end, holding a Molotov cocktail in his hands and the energy of anger in his actions, that he is not their “son.” The title character is know to the local enforcement as so many others. This is a story of police brutality, the infamous 2011 Tottenham riots and rage. The titular character here is the son of the older woman and her story-within-the-story of a flashback to an incident involving his bike serves as the thematic foundation unifying the two women most completely. They are also separate by cultural expectations revealing the divergences of time. The two women share little as they not only belong to different generations, but are also separated by geographical history. The bike becomes a symbol of flight, of freedom, independence. The central symbol of the story is the new bike owned by the younger woman. ![]() ![]() ![]() Two Sudanese women-one a young mother and the other older and more experienced-cross paths on a street.
