Director Charlotte Regan scooped the top prize in the World Cinema Drama section of this year's Sundance Film Festival with
her feature debut Scrapper. The film stars Lola Campbell as Georgie, a 12-year-old living
alone on a London council estate following the death of her mother. When
her estranged father (Harris Dickinson) shows up, Georgie struggles
to accept his presence in her life.
Scrapper is in UK cinemas from August 25th.

The official synopsis reads:
It’s said that it takes a village to raise a child but 12-year-old Georgie (Lola Campbell) has other ideas. Living alone since her beloved mum died, Georgie fills the flat they shared with her own special magic. But when her absent father Jason (Harris Dickinson) turns up out of the blue, she’s forced to confront reality. A dreamy, witty and unmissable tale of family and fresh starts, SCRAPPER is a film that believes life’s not so much about chasing rainbows but snatching fistfuls in both hands.
