Anthony Shand Joins Star-Studded Cast of In The Shadows, A Major New British Biopic
In The Shadows, directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker Anthony Wonke and written by Ursula Rani Sarma, tells the remarkable true story of Ramla Ali — a young Somali refugee secretly training to become a boxer while her family rebuilds their life in the UK. The film follows Ali’s journey from displacement and cultural pressure to global achievement, ultimately becoming the first Somali-British Muslim woman to compete professionally in the ring. Reel Scene Year Course graduate and RS Talent actor Anthony Shand appears in the film alongside an extraordinary cast, marking a milestone in his development from trained actor to feature film performer.
Produced by Oscar-nominated and BAFTA-winning talent — including Lee Magiday (The Favourite) and Madeleine Sanderson — the project has attracted support from a formidable slate of financiers and executive producers, among them: Richard and Jane Reid Fearn, Anushka Shah, Zygi Kamasa, Will Clarke, Andy Mayson, Mike Runagall, Natasha Mudhar, and Ramla Ali herself. The scale, ambition and depth of the production speaks to a film positioned for both awards-season attention and broad audience impact.
