Tiger Bay
“MURDER...enacted before the eyes of a little girl. She alone has the proof the police are searching for.”
In Tiger Bay, the docklands of Cardiff, rough-and-tumble street urchin Gillie witnesses the brutal killing of a young woman at the hands of visiting Polish sailor Korchinsky. Instead of reporting the crime to the authorities, Gillie merely pockets a prize for herself — Korchinsky's shiny black revolver — and flees the scene. When Detective Graham discovers that Gillie has the murder weapon, the fiery young girl weaves a web of lies to throw him off course.
A raw, atmospheric dive into Cardiff's docklands. It captures the grit of working-class life and the complex, often desperate, choices made by its inhabitants. The film feels lived-in, with a palpable sense of place and a compelling, character-driven tension.
