This is a group of coalescent stratovolcanoes and the largest volcanic centre in the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt. Mount Meager, located 150 km (93 mi) north of Vancouver, is a peak of the Mount Meager massif. Multiple factors led to the slide: Mount Meager's weak slopes have left it in a constant state of instability. states of Alaska and Washington and beyond. The landslide was large enough to send seismic waves more than 2,000 km (1,200 mi) away into the neighbouring U.S. It was one of the largest landslides in Canadian history and one of over 20 landslides to have occurred from the Mount Meager massif in the last 10,000 years.Īlthough voluminous, there were no fatalities caused by the event due in part to its remote and uninhabited location. More than 45,000,000 m 3 (1.6 ×10 9 cu ft) of debris slid down Mount Meager, temporarily blocking Meager Creek and destroying local bridges, roads and equipment. The 2010 Mount Meager landslide was a large catastrophic debris avalanche that occurred in southwestern British Columbia, Canada, on August 6 at 3:27 a.m. “Real queens fix each others’ crowns”, says a sticker on the wall in Rocks’s home. But in the end it’s the cast who carry it, lighting up the screen even in moments of darkness, making us believe in their characters, and care deeply about their stories. In keeping with the film’s proud “Team Rocks” ethos, it seems appropriate to mention casting director Lucy Pardee (who has worked with Lynne Ramsay and Andrea Arnold), associate director Anu Henriques, and Rachel Clark, who shot second camera alongside Louvart all have clearly contributed immensely to the film’s magical spell. The result is a film that combines the earthy honesty of Ken Loach’s C athy Come Home with the bittersweet beauty of Clio Barnard’s The Selfish Giant, and the girl-power oomph of Céline Sciamma’s Girlhood. But despite the loose-limbed atmosphere, this is a rigorously constructed work, designed to lead the audience through the changing fortunes of its protagonist, seeing the world through her eyes, and those of her closest confidantes. Sensitively photographed by Hélène Louvart, who recently shot Eliza Hittman’s remarkable Never Rarely Sometimes Always, Rocks exudes such a natural air that you sometimes forget you’re watching a drama rather than a documentary – a quality amplified by bursts of phone footage. Everything about these teenagers’ lives rings true, from their battles for survival to the exuberance of a classroom food fight, or scenes in which the girls bust dance moves (an eclectic music playlist speaks volumes about their characters) on a rooftop, or in a train carriage. It’s an anti-hierarchical approach that has given this team effort an impressively authentic edge.

Written by up-and-coming Nigerian-British playwright/screenwriter Theresa Ikoko with film and TV writer Claire Wilson, and directed by Sarah Gavron (who made 2007’s Brick Laneand 2015’s Suffragette), Rocks is a genuinely collaborative production, born out of workshops with young people at a range of schools and youth hubs. All Mum has left behind is an apologetic note about needing to clear her head, and a pocketful of grocery money – hardly enough to see the kids through a week, or to keep the electricity running. Boasting a terrific ensemble cast that showcases a host of talented newcomers, it’s exactly the film we need right now, pointing the way to a more positive future while looking the perils of the present day squarely in the eye.īukky Bakray is Shola, AKA Rocks – a force-of-nature 15-year-old east Londoner with a talent for makeup artistry, who returns home from school one day to discover that her depression-prone mother has abandoned her and her young brother Emmanuel (played with irrepressible flair by D’angelou Osei Kissiedu).

Having proved a crowd-pleasing hit at the London film festival in October 2019 (how long ago that now seems!), this vibrant, insightful and deeply empathetic drama about teenage girls forging their identities in a potentially hostile world is grittily realistic, yet also fiercely optimistic.
