Trouble Sleeping triumphs

Trouble Sleeping, which received its World Premiere at EIFF 2008, has taken top prize at a the Peace on Earth Film Festival in Chicago.

The Edinburgh-based production scooped the Best Narrative Feature Award at the Festival, and is set to be the first of many EIFF 2008 features to win awards around the globe.

Trouble Sleeping is set among a group of asylum seekers from the Middle East and North Africa who struggle to convince authorities that they should be allowed to stay in Britain.

It's the first feature produced by Edinburgh's renowned Theatre Workshop, and was described by our own Hannah McGill as 'inspiring and provocative'.
