For the first time, a gang of contemporary criminals opens their lives to reveal a brutal world dominated by violence-driven crime and the poor underclass that relies upon them, rather than the police, for justice. Award-winning BBC journalist Donal MacIntyre follows the trials and tribulations of Dominic Noonan over three years, as he lurches from criminal trial to criminal trial. Rarely does a film gain such deep access: showing US close-up a society embroiled in kidnapping, torture, narcotics, and murder. But behind the macho bravado lies a poignant view of a community struggling with poverty, violence, and drugs. A Very British Gangster is an all access pass to the real life Tony Soprano, an astonishing view into the world of organized crime.
