English Ako


Jules Chan

English Ako finds a fresh way to celebrate the experience of growing up in different cultures – embracing being born in Manila, raised in England. The protagonist Boy goes on a journey to look for his older brother who ran away. While searching, he invites us inside his world: his school detentions, his Hinge dates and his universal credit meetings, all whilst turning the people in his life into Shakespearean characters he’d read about. English Ako shows us that we have more similarities to laugh about and that the things that make us different can also be celebrated.
