kmfm Young black women are forced to be "stronger and more resilient than their years should require", a BAFTA-nominated director has told Sky News. Sarah Gavron's film Rocks, which has been nominated seven times at tonight's BAFTAs, celebrates the friendship of a group of multicultural young girls from inner-city London, and is described as a "love letter" to such real-life women. Gavron said it is "harder than ever for young people" at the moment growing up in a Britain which "in some ways feels broken," with "all the youth resources being stripped away". She has made history as one of four women nominated for best director at this year's BAFTAs. Her film, and Chloe Zhao's Nomadland, lead the nominations with seven each, with Zhao also up for best director.
