Synopsis

Known around the neighbourhood as Karate Kid due to their favourite outfit, a young teenager finds themselves face to face with their personal demons, who have taken the form of a large and colourful monster made of torn-up football shirts.. Coming from a family with a long history of depression and anxiety, Karate Kid must find a way to overcome their fears and become a champion in their own mind. This short and personal film, shot on gorgeous 35mm film, tackles mental health in the United Kingdom in both a surreal and relatable fashion, focusing in on the small things that give us strength.

What our educators say

"Some of them saw a clip from Wakolda (The German Doctor) on TV recently and really wanted to watch it. So I thought I’d take a chance, not expecting them to watch the whole film but the majority were absolutely gripped. "
