Some people need to be taught a lesson

Drama

NEDs (Non Educated Delinquents) is the story of a young man’s journey from prize-winning schoolboy to knife-carrying teenager. Struggling against the low expectations of those around him, John McGill changes from victim to avenger, scholar to NED, altar boy to glue sniffer. When he attempts to change back again, his new reality and recent past make conformity near impossible and violent self determination near inevitable.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching look at a young man's descent into delinquency. It feels like a punch to the gut, capturing the desperation and anger of a life shaped by circumstance and societal neglect. Expect a bleak, yet compelling, journey.
