...Fallout...


Set in London, Fallout stars Lennie James as Joe, a policeman returning to the estate he grew up on to investigate the murder of a black teenager.




Fallout was written as a passionate and powerful reflection on race, law and order in the aftermath of the Stephen Lawrence and Damilola Taylor cases. Fallout has alos been adapted at a time when it has never been more important to understand why some of our youth would arm themselves and commit devastating acts of violence.

Fallout can inspire young teenagers as it can influence those who have commited crimes to step foward, and can also show the outcomes and struggles people ahve to go through after a crime has taken place.
