Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a wave of 2000s British 'hood' films alongside 'Kidulthood' and 'Adulthood', though notably rare for centering female gang culture. The slang and locations are authentically London.
Lily Loveless (Hannah) was fresh off 'Skins' fame; the cast blends established grime/UK hip-hop faces with rising TV talent. Director Nirpal Bhogal came from documentary background, explaining the unpolished realism.
