Interesting facts

Strangeways Here We Come is an English comedy-drama film, written and directed by Chris Green, in which a group of residents in a council estate decide to defeat a cruel loan shark who has been making their lives miserable. It was filmed in Salford. The name is taken from the Smiths' album of the same name.

Background

The film's writer and director, Chris Green, said: "This was made by someone who lived there. Growing up on Spike Island we saw a lot of violence. I can honestly say that 90 per cent of what you see in that film is true - it's stuff I've seen, stuff I've experienced or know about. Apart from the murder, obviously."
