An inspired reimagining of the superhero film, Supa Modo follows the story of 9-year-old Jo, terminally ill and taken home from hospital to die. While her mother wants to wrap her blankets and keep her indoors, her sister Mwix wants to help her experience all she can in the time she has left. If this sounds rather heavy, take heart from Jo, obsessed with Kung Fu movies and superheroes, and dealing with her illness by escaping into the world of her imagination and never stopping reaching for her dream. She teaches us all this lesson by the end of the film, in a beautifully bittersweet way.
