Love + Hate

Love + Hate is a modern love story set across the racial divide in a Northern town. Adam has been brought up in a home and community that fosters racial hatred. Naseema is a girl from the same town, belonging to a new generation of Asian youth who have taken up the violence offered to them as a way of reclaiming the past. But what Adam and Naseema really share is a secret desire to break free of their small town and its inhibitions, something they discover while working together in a DIY store. At first resistant, they cannot avoid their mutual attraction, and embark on a relationship which threatens to bring down their families as well as themselves.

    Another great British film

    Saw this on a plane a few weeks ago. Typical down to earth British film exploring racism in a northern town - not in a particularly deep way. Its well acted with the young actors bringing life and believability to the characters. I wasn't intending on watching it, but once started it turned out to be well worth it.

    Love to hate up north ..

    Well acted, but ultimately totally unrealistic take on mixed-relationships ..

    This isn't how racism is in todays society (who cares these days if a white guy goes out with an asian girl?!) and the way young white girls are shown as almost being on the game at such an early age is almost laughable!
