Kelly is an assassin, a trained killer and experimental chemist who specialises in poison. She's just turned fifty and has become weary of her lifestyle. Yet the assassin is in her blood - anger and cynicism prevent her from turning her back on killing for money. Especially now. After learning of the brutal rape and murder of her young charge, Sam, Kelly allows an inner rage to take hold and breaks protocol by torturing and killing one of the murderers, leaving his body for the rest of the gang to discover in their warehouse. But the gang is not about to vanish. They are dangerous - organised crime professionals who inhabit Europe's dark underworld - and now it's their turn to seek vengeance. Ignoring desperate phone calls from her superior, Ed, urging her to allow his agency to protect her, Kelly goes on the run and flees to Spain where she attempts to ride out the storm - without success. As her pursuers move ever closer, Kelly needs to draw on radical ingenuity to stay alive, and taps into any opportunity to keep one step ahead of capture and a fate worse than death.
In the early 1970s, acclaimed photojournalist Don McCullin photographed the area of Toxteth in Liverpool, capturing the area during an era of transition and decline.
Focussing on one photograph from his collection, a group of filmmakers from the area paint a contemporary portrait of the same postcode through the people who inhabit it today. From Turner Prize winning projects to a new generation of poets and artists, this film heads into the heart of the community to meet photographers, beekeepers, urban griots and the people that make Liverpool 8 a model example of a modern community.
A melting pot of cultures, people from all countries converge in an area as diverse as its population, where Georgian townhouses rub shoulders with social housing, and Mosques stand opposite Synagogues.
ALMOST LIVERPOOL 8 is a lyrical look from within at a community often misunderstood.
