First Look At Letitia Wright In Drama ‘Aisha’ Co-Starring Josh O’Connor; Cornerstone Boards Sales

Here’s the first image from Aisha, the drama starring Letitia Wright and Josh O’Connor that recently wrapped filming in Ireland. Cornerstone has boarded worldwide sales rights ahead of the Cannes virtual market this month.

Frank Berry (Michael Inside) directed and wrote the pic, which charts the experiences of a young Nigerian woman as she seeks international protection in Ireland. Caught in limbo for years in Ireland’s immigration system, Aisha Osagie (Wright) develops a friendship with former prisoner Conor Healy (O’Connor) whom she meets at one of the accommodation centres.
