Shank DVD
Shank takes a futuristic look at what life could be like for Britain’s disenfranchised youth if the recession continues and teenagers in urban areas are driven further and further to the edges of society.
In a world where food is scarce and where rival gangs are driven to extremes as they battle it out for survival.
It is 2015 and the gap between rich and poor has grown to epic proportions. The police have given up hope, the government doesn’t care and gangs have taken over.
Food is scarce and 'munchies' have replaced drugs and guns as a priceless commodity. Junior (Kedar Williams-Stirling) and the Paper Chaserz are the only gang to follow a nonviolent ethos.
However, a tip-off about a food delivery leads to conflict with a rival gang and the death of one of their own. Now Junior has to decide whether to stay true to his principles or lead his gang on a quest for revenge.
Set to an explosive Grime and UK Hip Hop Soundtrack, Shank is the first film of its kind to combine animation, computer graphics and live action.
Shot entirely on location in South London, the film was brought to the screen through the directing talents of Mo Ali, one of the most exciting directors to come out of the British urban music scene.
Shank is released 26th July
