Gassed Up
A group of London teenage boys turn to motorbike crime for survival in George Amponsah’s high-octane follow-up to The Hard Stop.
Director: George Amponsah
Overview
When Ash joins Dubz’s gang it’s for good reasons – to help look after his younger sister and get his mum into rehab. But what starts out as a few stolen phones quickly spirals out of control with a robbery gone wrong, and Ash finds that the world of crime is a lot harder to leave than it was to enter. Amponsah’s slick, fast-paced filmmaking will keep you on the edge of your seat.
