Scum
Here is the shocking and hard tale of life at a British Borstal for youthful criminals. The barbarous regime made no effort to reform or enhance the offenders and knowingly invited a power battle involving the ‘demanding’ new inmate along with also the ‘old hands’. This movie is really a re-make, from precisely the identical director and author, of a 1977 BBC teleplay prohibited prior to broadcasting [see Scum (1991)].
