Harry Brown (Daniel Barber, 2009) is another film I am considering using in my Small Scale Research Project, this time as the focus film. The story follows Harry Brown , a widowed Northern Ireland veteran living on an Elephant & Castle housing estate that is rapidly descending into youth crime. Harry fights fire with fire after his friend is murdered by some of the estate's young inhabitants. Harry Brown is a fantastic reference for my project, as it looks at urban British youth, their portrayal, how they are thought of by others in the community, and their relationships, especially with older people.
See the trailer below....
Harry Brown was very popular amongst critics. A few reviews can be found below:
