An insight into 'UK Ambition'

UK ambition follows a gang of young male characters who only know a life of drugs , crime and violence. Since birth they have lived on the same east London estate and as is all to common in modern society, they have never had a proper parent figure to look up to. However, there is one promise on the horizon. This comes in the form of Basketball and is Darius' (Mirzo Y) only hope of escaping a world where fighting is a way to pass the time, Crime is an afterschool activity and gang war is the way of life.


As shown in the opening two minutes, Sport is the main genre of this film but it also follows up as an insight into modern day British poverty and the 'Yob' culture that goes hand in hand with this. The storyline follows the traditional 'Zero to Hero' format that is seen alot within modern day Cinema. This gives the representation a feel good factor aswell as a potent wake up call into the state of elements of Britains current society.
