A Brixton Tale

A Brixton Tale (2021)

It begins with a chaotic rush of teen hormones when white middle-class teenager Leah gets together with Benji who is black and poor. Leah begins taping Benji and posting these videos of his life revealing his intriguing mix of charisma and shyness – but when this proves boring to audiences, the two of them embark down a path that becomes increasingly violent, ominous and eventually spirals out of control.
