Directed by Penny Woolcock and I believe originally shown in the UK on Channel 4, this film suffers by comparison with Children Of Men with which it shares a lot... a lot. It even stars Clare-Hope Ashitey who looks and sounds like the product of Middlesex that she is.
It projects the story (from the bible!) of Moses over a near future immigrant hating Britain, with all the undesirables herded into an old amusement park (Dreamland).
It has the slightly unreal feel of an old episode of Doctor Who, not quite convincing whilst trying to be a bigger film than it manages.
Heart in the right place, logistics slightly skewed.
I would suggest waiting for this to appear on TV or a DVD watch for the hard core viewer.
More interesting than captivating.
