    A family and their friends are messing around at home when they are set upon by a gang of shotgun toting white racist thugs who have violently descended on their street. What ensues is truly abhorrent and would appear to happen with a degree of police complicity before quite a clever and intensely delivered piece of poetry from actor Riz Ahmed questioning who is who in the UK in 2020, and what is important in our double-standards ridden nation. The photography really effectively takes us to the heart of this scenario, almost as if we were there too, witnessing the atrocity. I do not believe this is a realistic reflection of something that could actually happen in Britain, nor do I believe that there are police officers who would permit this kind of brutal kerbside execution, but sometimes cinema needs extremes to provoke debate and responses - this is certainly food for thought.

The Lords of Discipline

Will arrives for his last year at Military Academy, in the Deep South USA, in the 1960's. A black student, Pearce, has been accepted, for the first time and Will is asked to keep an eye out for the inevitable racism. The racists come in the form of The Ten, a secret group of the elite students. They want Pearce to leave on his own free will, but are prepared to torture him to make it 'his free will'. Will is forced to help Pearce and he is prepared to risk his own career to do so.
