Jamie is a trouble young woman with a beautiful singing voice. Her inspiring and unconventional care worker, Kate, encourages her to use it – but can Jamie break free from her controlling and possessive best friend? Set against the backdrop of the 2011 riots, Urban Hymn is a story about loyalty, difficult choices, and the emotional void left behind by loss.

“Urban Hymn is a beautiful, highly-charged slice of UK cinema that simultaneously harks back to the kitchen sink dramas of yesteryear, whilst maintaining a contemporary message.”
