        Overview

        With his original 1977 television play banned for being too violent (or perhaps, too honest) Clarke remade Scum for cinema. Ray Winstone is terrifyingly convincing as a violent youth, alongside a host of recognisable faces from British film and television, in this unflinching portrayal of borstal life.
