Brit List 2024 Revealed: NBCUniversal Crime Drama Tops List Of Best Unproduced Film & TV Scripts
The annual Brit List is topped by an NBC Universal crime-drama.
Summary: CHIKA is a coming-of-age comedy drama about a working-class Oxbridge student who deals drugs to fund her Dad’s desperately needed heart surgery, and her adventures with her best friend as she discovers herself in an elitist, patriarchal establishment. Summary: In 19th Century India, a naive English nurse arrives at an isolated maternity hospital on a quest to continue her father’s legacy of “caring for” the mixed-race babies born from British soldiers and Indian women. All the noir elements are here, obsession, desire, fate, all the classic characters, visual keys and thematic threads, but reimagined, remade to explore one central question – will the youth of today cave in to conformity, or turn the world on its head?
