Hard working protestant Guernsey farmer Elisabeth is devoted to her daughter Jane, who lives in London and after the 7th July bus and tube bombings stops answering her phone. Concerned for her safety, Elisabeth travels to London, where she is contacted by French-speaking African Muslim Ousmane, who has come to the UK in search of his missing son, who appears to have been romantically involved with Jane.

French director Rachid Bouchareb uses a still painful true incident to explore the emotional turmoil of those directly affected by it, and the racial and religious prejudice that arose in its aftermath. The resulting film, London River, is a subtly powerful and moving film that benefits greatly from two excellent central performances from Brenda Blethyn and Sotigui Kouyate.

London River will be released on UK DVD on 11th October 2010 by Trinity at the RRP of £15.99. Extra features include:

• Interview with with director Rachid Bouchareb and lead actor Brenda Blethyn;
• Theatrical Trailer.
