Synopsis

Duwayne Brooks witnessed the fatal stabbing of his friend Stephen Lawrence in 1993. Knife crime is on the rise in the UK and it is young peoples’ lives that are being cut short, often by other teenagers. Brookes examines the causes of this growing violence and talks to both the perpetrators of violent crime and the families affected by it to try and understand the impact it has on the UK. As for Brooks, he still carries the trauma of losing his friend in such a horrific way, a sorrow that fuels him to educate others and fight institutional failures. It’s a frank and personal examination of Britain’s growing knife crisis.

What our educators say

"Some of them saw a clip from Wakolda (The German Doctor) on TV recently and really wanted to watch it. So I thought I’d take a chance, not expecting them to watch the whole film but the majority were absolutely gripped. "
