White Girl Directed by Hettie MacDonald Produced by Andrew Woodhead Written by Abi Morgan Starring Anna Maxwell Martin Holly Kenny Daniel Mays Melanie Hill Jay Simpson Jade Islam Distributed by Tiger Aspect Productions Release date(s) United Kingdom March 10, 2008 Country United Kingdom Language English White Girl is a 2008, BAFTA Award-winning BBC film produced by Abi Morgan, made as part of the BBC's White Season and portrays a white family who move from an area of Leeds that has predominantly White British inhabitants to an area of Bradford composed of inhabitants of South Asian heritage.[1] The film is told from the perspective of 11-year-old Leah, (Holly Kenny), whose life is altered when her mother, Debbie (Anna Maxwell Martin) moves the family from a white suburb of Leeds to an Asian area of neighbouring Bradford after her recent abusive relationship break-up. At first, Catholic, Leah is reluctant to partake in the activities of the Muslim majority and walks out of an Islamic assembly at School, however through time she becomes more open to Islam, begins wearing a hijab and attending a Mosque, much to her mother's displeasure.[2] Cast Anna Maxwell Martin- Debbie Holly Kenny- Leah Daniel Mays- Stevie Melanie Hill- Sonya Jay Simpson- Adam Jade Islam- Yasmin Controversy Many in Bradford have complained the film, like so many others set in the city, portrays a negative image of the area. Previous films such as Rita, Sue and Bob Too, which was set in the city brought attention to the city's deprived Buttershaw area, whilst East is East (which was set in Salford) also showed the city in a negative light, dubbing it 'Bradistan' owing to the city's Asian population. In contrast the film shows neighbouring city, Leeds in a more positive light.
