THE LAST TREE is the story of Femi, a British boy of Nigerian heritage who, after being fostered in rural Lincolnshire, moves to inner-city London to live with his birth mother.  In his teens, Femi is struggling with the culture and values of his new environment. Femi must decide which path to adulthood he wants to take, and what it means to be a young black man in London during the early 00s. Going back home to Nigeria with his mum to find his Nigerian roots will help adolescent Femi find grounding and hope for a better future.  Maryann Johanson of flickfilosopher.com says its “An astonishingly beautiful coming-of-age story…” The film runs 98 minutes and is not rated; it does contain explicit language and violence.
