On The 8 Ball

Synopsis

In the small hours of the night two shots ring out. Kudjo, a black gangster, lies alone and bleeding on the floor of his deserted nightclub. Through his eyes, we see the climactic events which led up to his shooting. Set in London's clubs, the film tells of a man's battle to escape the hate that he himself set in motion many years before.
