Overview

A young Michael Crawford stars as the leader of the Battersea Bats, a fresh-faced gang that’s determined to beat deadly rivals the Victorias in the upcoming soapbox derby.

This rather tough, street-smart adventure from the Children’s Film Foundation is packed with unruly fist-fights and rollicking go-kart races, while also sporting some fine South London location work
