Twice Oscar-nominated Londoner meets French Algerian auteur in a film about racial understanding set around the London bombings. Sound heavy? Well, kinda, but, as the pair explain, London River is the product of an unlikely friendship. It's as powerful and uplifting as you'd expect from the actress who gave Secrets And Lies its heart and the director who brought us the terrific Days Of Glory. Just don't expect to see much of the Thames.
