About
A young Ramla Ali flees Somalia for London and secretly takes up boxing as a teenager, hiding it from her family.
In the Shadows is inspired by the true story of Ramla Ali, played by Jasmine Jobson, with Suhayla Ahmed as the teenage Ramla. As a young girl, Ramla flees Somalia with her family and seeks asylum in London during the civil war. In her teens, she takes up boxing but keeps it secret because she knows her family would disapprove. The film follows her as she pursues the sport while looking for her own identity within the world she was born into, and as she discovers the power of family, love, faith and self-belief.
