A movie about a British-Nigerian schoolgirl nets 7 nominations from the British Academy Film Awards, or the BAFTA. The feature called Rocks stars Bukky Bakray, 16. The Rock is about a teenage girl juggling her school and family life.
The story touches on a tumultuous growing up journey for Shola, called Rocks by her mates, who tried to stop the disappearance of her mother from being discovered.
The nomination equals that of Chloe Zhao s Nomadland - which won this year s Gold Globe Award for best drama film.
Together Rocks and Nomadland garnered the most mentions on the shortlist. I m just, like, speechless. I don t really have words or speech because, I mean, we re both pretty nonchalant people, but it s just like being a bit spaced out on that. What the hell is happening? You know, excuse my French, but like, I m just confused. It s weird , Bukray said.

“We didn’t expect it. You should have seen me that day when they told me – I think I went into shock,” she said.
The film draws comparisons to the real-life case of Ruby Williams, a former schoolgirl sent home from Hackney s Urswick School for the length of her afro hair.
Ruby’s case was picked up by national news as she, and her family, battled against the school’s uniform policy in 2020, later receiving an £8,500 payout from the school.
