I Am Urban (2015). 1h 38m

“Just watched today Urban and the Shed Crew, available now to stream through the Blenheim Films website. I had read Bernard Hareu0026#39;s book some four years ago or so, and have been looking forward to finally seeing the film. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt was well worth the wait, what an excellent film, with very strong performances. I do caution that it is a heartbreaking film to watch, it will take you on a roller coaster of emotions. But it will also make you think about our social responsibilities, from our governments yes, but also from ourselves. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;m in the US, and though the film is set in Leeds in the UK, it is just as relevant to what happens here in our cities, and everywhere really to young people, to children, in need of care and hope. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eVery strong performances from the entire cast, including all the young actors involved in this film. Bravo to Richard Armitage as Chop and Anna Friel as Greta, and a double Bravo to young Fraser Kelly as Urban. Bravo to director Candida Brady. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI would recommend watching the film first and then reading Bernard Hareu0026#39;s book, a true story. Mr. Hare is the real Chop. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film really deserves to be seen.”
