Description
Centred in a Jamaican restaurant in London, Judith, Mikey and Frank help each other attempt to plant roots in a country that has been anything but kind to them.
Disruptor Mikey uses art and politics to respond to the injustices he sees. Judith conforms, seeking financial security in an ordinary life as a nurse in order to take care of her family back home. Frank takes life less seriously - he's been judged all his life, but what he lacks in luck, he makes up for in community. Despite their differences, the group's shared tenacity fosters a unique sense of identity, courage and belonging as they are each drawn back to the restaurant over a number of years.
Inspired by the true stories of three older British-Jamaican citizens, Soon Come shines a light on the everyday lives of London's Caribbean diaspora, revealing the hopes, dreams and uncrushable spirit of the generation.
