CGiii Comment

Way too many issues for a 12-minute short.

The racism is abhorrent, the criminality is abhorrent...the ending is way over-the-top.

It's all just a little too much for 12 minutes...find the story!

The(ir) Blurb...

JAS is the story of a British-Iranian teen, trapped in a dilapidated English seaside town, caught somewhere between a desire to escape and a desire to connect. When a local war veteran antagonises Jas with racist remarks, the depths of her frustrations flood to the surface.
