Synopsis of film
Small Axe: Education follows the struggles of one family to secure a proper education for their son, Kingsley. The film opens within 12-year-old Kingsley’s reverie. He daydreams of space and interstellar travel. In his world, possibilities are endless. This is as it should be; he is a child with all of life before him. But the film quickly reveals how, at school, Kingsley has already been marked out as a failure.
