Poor by Caleb Femi
A spare, lyrical sequence that follows young lives on an inner‑city estate, tracing the effects of poverty, absent adults, policing and the pressures of masculinity while also finding tenderness, humour and communal resilience in small moments; the city itself becomes both a source of grief and a living archive of memory, rendered in urgent, street‑inflected language that moves between reportage, elegy and intimate address.
