ISIS DAVIS

AFTER WINNING THE BEST SCRIPT AWARD AT THE 2017 BRITISH URBAN FILM FESTIVAL FOR HER SCREENPLAY DRAW, Davis joined the writing teams for Killing Eve and upcoming BBC series Champion. As an actor, she has also appeared in The Secret Garden, Silent Witness and Electric Dreams. Davis is now penning Your Eyes, a timely story about family, race and identity told through the experience of an unconventionally diverse modern family. Staunch black rights activist Yinka Oppong and her Rastafarian husband Paul waited on the adoption list for years and when the call finally came, they were shocked to be presented with a white, blue-eyed baby. Sixteen years later, Paul and Yinka now have three teenagers: their adopted white son Benny and black biological twins Theo and Lola. Paul and Yinka raised their children colour-blind in their liberal, multicultural city neighbourhood, but when Paul gets a high-profile new job, the family moves to an affluent, predominantly white town miles away and must fight to stay together in a place that is trying to tear them apart.
