Daniel Kaluuya directs Kano in 'honest' sci-fi story ( www.msn.com )

Oscar-winning British actor Daniel Kaluuya has stepped behind the camera for the first time to direct The Kitchen, a drama set amid the stark social divisions of an alternative London.

The Kitchen opens with a Robin Hood-like scenario, as a gang of young people hijack an armoured truck for its rations to redistribute to their community in an area dubbed the Kitchen.

Kaluuya and Kibwe Tavares' joint directorial debut depicts a bleak and desperate London where social housing no longer exists.

Starring Top Boy's Kane "Kano" Robinson and 14-year-old newcomer Jedaiah Bannerman, it speaks to the heart of a changing landscape and how, although oppressed, people can still experience joy and togetherness.
