The Test

I-ling's experience whilst taking her Life in the UK test reminds her of the difficulties and constraints she faces as an immigrant working hard to get her citizenship. 

The Test has a double meaning. It refers to not only the Life in the UK test but also a test that all immigrants have gone through, are going through and will keep going through - a test to face microaggressions. 

By following our protagonist I-Ling taking the citizenship test, the film touches on the absurdity of the test and captures the repressing feeling of life as an immigrant.

The Test is a BFI Network funded short film.
