Sweet Sixteen

Acclaimed director Ken Loach's deeply affecting drama about a boy who attempts to save his jailbird mother from a world of danger and crime on the dismal streets of a Scottish coastal town, creating a safe haven where she can escape the grasp of the two men in her life. However, his efforts to raise the necessary readies lead him and his friends into all manner of crazy schemes, and he's soon dangerously out of his depth. Martin Compston, Annmarie Fulton, William Ruane, Michelle Coulter and Gary McCormack are among the cast. Part of the Summer of British Film season
