Overview

16-year-old skinhead Trevor has no regard for authority, and would rather spend his time stealing cars than sitting in the detention centre to which he is sent. Social worker Harry Parker tries his best, but Trevor is only interested when there's something in it for him. The centre authorities try to conform Trevor to the norms of society, but he takes no notice, and would rather speak in a torrent of four-letter words and racial abuse.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A relentless portrait of teenage rage and institutional failure, made rawer by its refusal to soften or psychoanalyze its subject. Trevor is pure antagonism, and the film watches him with unflinching documentary clarity as systems fail to reach him.
