The movie follows Hakeem Brown, a 17-year-old aspiring student, who lives at home with his family. Hakeem decides that he wants to leave Jamaica and attend a university abroad. However, just as things were going well, his world is turned upside down when a loved one is brutally murdered.

With the police already under intense pressure and overloaded with crime, Hakeem feels they are not doing enough to solve the case. As weeks pass without any arrests, Hakeem becomes more and more desperate for answers. In his search for justice, he receives information about the person responsible. Despite being raised not to take the law into his own hands, Hakeem continues to doubt the ability of the police, and struggles with the decision of whether or not to tell them what he knows.

As things begin to spiral out of his control, how far will he go for justice? For every choice we make there is a consequence, and sometimes there’s no turning back.

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director and producer Nicolette Bucknor.  

This film is in English and Jamaican Creole with English subtitles. 

No Turning Back contains a sequence of flashing lights which might affect customers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
