White Girl

White Girl, a BAFTA award-winning one-off BBC film, centres on Leah, a girl who relocates to Bradford with her mum and twin siblings, Adam and Casey, to escape her abusive stepdad. Much to their initial dismay, the council has housed them right in the middle of an entirely South Asian Muslim community. After overcoming her initial preconceptions of Islam, Leah begins to use it as a means of sheltering herself from her chaotic and fractured family life.

The programme was part of the BBC's "White" season, which sought to investigate the place of the white working class in the new multicultural Britain.

This show contains examples of:
 * Calling the Old Man Out: The cafe scene. Doubles as a Crowning Moment of Awesome.
 * Fish Out of Water: Played straight.
