Movie Review: Scum (1979) - UK Youth Prison Movie

[Rev.Cambeul]

I saw bits of this back in 88 when only 18 while in military detention and I was impressed. Never had the chance to watch it since, so here it is 32 years later on YouTube, when I'm 52. And I still like it ....

In short, it's good. An entertaining story of UK youth detention, with the main story of a White lad standing up to bullies, and plenty of White on Black violence.

I'm an hour through, with half an hour to go. Here's hoping for some Mississippi Windchime action.
