Speaking about his project, Berry commented: â
Aisha is set in the world of Direct Provision in Ireland. While working with former and current international protection applicants over four years, a story emerged of a human connection in an inhumane system. I am delighted that our project has attracted the attention of such amazing funding partners and the incredible talents of Letitia Wright and Josh OâConnor, who act alongside many former and current international protection applicants. Itâs been a very special experience making this film so far, and I look forward to all of us bringing
Aisha to national and international audiences next year.â
