11.26am David Jackson - Snowball - screening (45.11) Set in 1960s–70s Britain, this documentary is about Dave Jackson (Snowball), the only black boy navigating the cruelty of state- run children’s homes—institutions plagued as much by mistreatment as neglect. Inspired by true stories, the film paints an unflinching portrait of resilience in the face of systemic failures. Told through a collection of short, animated, interlinked vignettes, Snowball captures moments of both moving tenderness and devastating abuse. As he grows, the titular Snowball learns to read people, build fragile alliances and reclaim whatever fragments of his stolen childhood remain. Buried beneath the layers of brutality, we glimpse his unyielding determination, wit, empathy, resilience, and longing for a world that goes beyond merely surviving.
