rdf:langString Scarborough is a 2021 Canadian drama film, directed by Shasha Nakhai and Rich Williamson. An adaptation of Catherine Hernandez's 2017 novel Scarborough, the film centres on the coming of age of Bing (Liam Diaz), Sylvie (Mekiya Essence Fox) and Laura (Anna Claire Beitel), three young children in a low-income neighbourhood in the Scarborough district of Toronto, as they learn the value of community, passion and resilience over the course of a school year through an after-school program led by childhood educator Ms. Hina (Aliya Kanani). The cast also includes Ellie Posadas as Bing's mother Edna, who has recently left her abusive husband but is doing her best to give Bing a stable and loving home environment; Cherish Violet Blood as Marie, Sylvie's mother whose husband's disability has reduced their family to living in a motel, and who is struggling to get the medical system to diagnose her son Johnny (Felix Jedi Ingram Isaac) when he begins to show signs of autism; and Kristen MacCulloch and Conor Casey as Laura's parents Jessica and Cory, a drug addict and a former skinhead who are both ill-equipped to care for a young child and regularly ship her back and forth between their homes with little regard for her own needs.
