Written and directed by Michelle Jones, UNCLE is the true story of a man murdered while in government custody. (The officers involved in the killing were never criminally charged nor suffered any disciplinary repercussions, leaving the surviving family members without justice or closure.)
▫️
Set in ‘90s London, this short film shares the perspective of a teenage girl as she learns of her uncle’s passing, and we watch as an “emotional roller-coaster” unfolds on the day of his funeral.

We’re pleased to announce that UNCLE was selected to screen at the 4th Annual New Faces New Voices Film Festival, which is taking place September 13-15, 2022, at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, in Brooklyn.
