BELONGING
Short 20’
When your family don't want to know, there has to be somewhere you
belong.
Dark, gritty, urban drama, which never shies away from the truth of life on
a deprived South London sink estate. Written in teenage slang and patois,
with a soundtrack provided by upcoming UK rap artists, this film is about
the dark world that many of today's teenagers inhabit. A world where disenfranchised
youths search for belonging and sometimes the only place they can find it
is in a gang.
