- Synopsis:
Although probably best remembered for the controversial and groundbreaking dramas 'Scum', 'Made in Britain' and 'The Firm', the breadth of Alan Clarke's radical, political, innovative, inspirational work, along with his influence on generations of filmmakers, such as Gus Van Sant, Paul Greengrass, Andrea Arnold, and Shane Meadows, should see him rightly regarded as one of Britain's greatest ever filmmaking talents.
