If like me you love, love, love Danish drama then Shorta won’t disappoint. The Danes unapologetically say it as they see it, and the sensitive subject of racial prejudice lies at the heart and by purposely not shying away from the issue is where positive change can and already has started to happen. Plucked from obscurity in true Alan Parker fashion, law student turned actor Tarek Zayat tells me all about the casting process and the fun he had working on the film.
