Strong Language

Synopsis

An authentic, honest, illuminating, funny and explosive film, Strong Language is inspired by nineties youth culture. It uses a unique talking-heads style to tell a story of ordinary lives in an extraordinary place and time. Through a 'mock-umentary' type style of shooting, a narrator relates a night of terror that changes his life for ever. This is intercut with sixteen young people talking about their lives and experiences in London.


Topics range from Ecstacy, Aids and one night stands, to Britpop, racism, the police and all things affecting youth today. Strong Language combines entertaining and revealing insights with an unforgettable and unexpected chain of events.
