Dreaming Whilst Black Series 1
Episode 1 of 6

Kwabena, an aspiring film-maker stuck in a dead-end job, gets the opportunity of a lifetime - but what will he have to sacrifice?

Kwabena is an aspiring film-maker working a dead-end job in recruitment. When he bumps into Amy, an old friend from film school who has just returned from three years in Nigeria, she offers to pass his script, Jamaica Road, to the development team at the production company where she works.

But life isn't as simple as all that, and Kwabena may have to make some sacrifices in order to pursue his dream.
