After being blamed for the death of his best friend in a racist street fight, Tez (Rahel Romahn), a 25-year-old drug dealer with cultural identity issues, loses custody of his son that he’s never met. Battling a drug addiction and coming to terms with losing his best friend, he will need to find a way to battle his inner demons and reclaim his life before he loses his son forever.
Streets of Colour stars Rahel Romahn, who recently appeared opposite Michael Sheen in the acclaimed revival of Amadeus at the Sydney Opera House. He will also be seen in David Michod’s forthcoming feature Wizards! with Pete Davidson and Orlando Bloom. Romahn delivers a commanding performance in Streets of Colour, alongside an ensemble cast of talented Australian actors. Set in the suburbs of Western Sydney, the film explores the complexities of race, self-identity and spirituality.
