I love this so much.. a lot of the time no one focuses on who is buying the drugs. The same people reading the news, writing the article, sentencing the children, arresting the kids are the same people buying the drugs from them.. this is the part that's not shown or spoke about. I respect this film a lot. I will be showing this to the kids I work with.
And if not them, their kids are
@Mark Turnbull no it's not life god says when people pass not humans
@Mark Turnbull Absolutely right. There will always be a demand for drugs. Decriminalization of drugs is whats necessary.

Regarding the song at the end it's called 'Visions', the offical video will be dropping soon. Will keep you all updated. It's an original track written and performed for the film by Big Ven.
Leon Oldstrong the song is hard and the story line is madders
Is there audio for the song
whens it out
@leon when is the song coming out
I really like the song of it is finished please can u post the song
So excited it's finally out! Really proud to have been a part of this - thank you Leon.
Thank you brother, we all created this together, everyone who was involved
Elliot Cable brudda ur the crack head in the film🤦♂️
Gear head
man said proud to be a bisshead😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@ollieisaac1530 its an acting job you fucking cretin
7:47 what kind of opps just walk past each other and dont do anythin
George C-J that’s what i was thinking
Ldn Drillas my man is from roads with the fortnite profile pic
@@bensmith1604 😂
Ben Smith and uploads clash Royale vids I’m dead 😂
George C-J them wasn’t opps I think they was his private killers and I think he set bro up it was all planed I think that’s what’s it seemed like
And its that simple. Its frightening how disposable young lives are. We should all take note and see the number of victims in this viciously violent cycle.
Congratulations to Leon Oldstrong, the cast and crew and all involved for a really poignant insight into lives that on the face of it are poles apart but inextricably linked. 🖤
I really felt this story you know this is written by someone who knows what they're writing about
yes
Wow, this was such an experience! It's so depressing how easily influenced young people can be & you captured and identifies that message and made that into an art! Props to everyone who worked on this! Pulling off a great film like this revolving around such a sensitive topic can be so hard to do.
This is such a great representation of what the reality is! so much hurt and pain is caused by this all. This needs to go viral!
My god bro the beginning, his smile lightens up my day :)
He has his head on his shoulders, he knows better.
this film was so good wanted more of it but yet again, its an example of what gang leaders do to outsiders like in the end im guessing he died, the gang leader didnt care he just went and made another of the victims friend become like he was ! THANKS LOVED IT
He did u could hear im take thst breath ting at the end
Idk why but whenever I see mothers suffering from these situations it makes it more emotional 😢😢
Glad to catch the premier of this! Important message that needs to be taken in by the public - the people we associate with drugs are often the most vulnerable, and they are HUMAN. Superb acting too, the characters all felt lived and experienced, well done!
Thank you for your support Mish
An important film with a very strong message that needs to be shared!
Well filmed, well produced and well told! Loved this, looking forward to more films like this, valid and true commentary in motion.
So so proud of my brother Samuel Kyi. This film is truly a masterpiece. Big up Leon and the whole team!👊🏾👏🏾🔥❤️
Big up Samule, the whole team and big up yourself again and again
The production quality is top tier. Well done to all the team that made this happen. People don’t realise the amount of effort that goes into 17min of high quality content 👏🏽
Love this movie!! Glad to be part of something so meaningful! All praise to Leon and everyone else involved🙌🏾☝🏾
Amazing performance from Ansu. Big things lay head for you brother
rate the performance 🙏
Sad but true ! Single mum and broken family
‘This is so true the dealers don’t care bout nothin
Says you
@@user-rp2tz9lr1m tf do you mean “says you” you good
@@user-rp2tz9lr1m lmao what
love it how in the end hes just walking, listiening to music and having fun while the text states serious crime and sad facts
So glad this is finally out! Such a powerful story
So glad to have worked with you on this bro
This should be a film-episodes on Netflix
There is one top boy
Yusuf Husseini ye I’ve watched summerhouse and new one
Bailee Brown no but have you watched top boy
What’s summerhouse
Is it worth watching
So proud to be involved in such an important film working alongside my actors #MelsGotTalent #TeamMGT
Well done Leon, more films like this are needed. Looking forward to see what you create next!!
It was a pleasure working with you Mel
Supa 👌🇮🇪
Ur in relevant asf
I liked this. Realistic, dramatic. And the dialogue still safe enough for young audiences to hear.
This is an amazing production
We need a lot more of these for the U.K. scene 🎉
That was deep bro! That was a very good educational video. They should show the video in schools to raise more awareness of county lines and that life.
I was digging this the way the two worlds intertwined was nice great casting on the posh lads and powerful performance from the young lead - the music was good too! Big up Samuel on this too!
Thanks for your support. Samuel put in an amazing performance
Man didn’t even take the weed in and still acting up like that😂🤣
Such a powerful message of truth.
I like the fact that uk directors put in great work to preach about the dangers of being in the street ✌️
Production on this was amazing, big up to my guy Sirach 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. Such an underrated actor.
Big up Sirach
A great short, sadly a very true reflection of what’s happening to our youth! .. and yes it should be shown in EVERY school up and down the UK. 🤜🏻🤛🏾
Sad thing is this would probably just encourage kids to do this sht, like when bluestory came out all the road men went crazy over it and we're legit shooting and fighting each other outside of the cinemas even tho the story is actually pretty sad and has a bad ending witch should make people think twice about that life style
So yea showing kids something like this would very likely just do the opposite of what it's meant to
@@myfirstasmrvideo8463 Yeah fair comment, it’s got no better has it? They are all acting like they are in Top Boy 🙄
Wow this is why we need to protect the young people 😢 good film tho💯💯🔥
I dont think yall understand the points its not just abt drugs the young kid didnt have a father so he got connected to the dealer very fast
Well done to my brother for this one! Captured the mood of a very important topic that doesnt get mentioned enough. The quality of filming and acting is great too. Going above and beyond with not alot of budget compared to some of the other stuff out there. Well done and keep up the good work🤘
Thank you bro - been there in my corner from day 1
A very good representation of the times, the results of which I have seen far too often... 😢
yeah you guys should definitly try to get all of this sort of stuff shown in secondary schools. People think its cool until this sort of stuff happens. You could save so many lifes
Amazing all the actors and actresses did a great Job Respect! all the way from NYC
This was deep good short film we need to do more to stop this madness.
3:15 there's pedos luring kids with candy now there is dealers luring youtes with chicken lmao
LMFAO
Heroin crack and skunk? Nobody talks about chicken and chips addiction
u slow or something?
lmao
@@grobarq7768 nah he made smth called a joke
So spot on quality 👌 just a another young life lost never mind where's my nxt friend / runner 🤔 ! . Want some advice take it or leave it don't go down that road 💊 education & family 📖is a must trust believe !! .. Bless Up . ✌🧢🤘💯
Honestly speaking it was really awesome to work on this Leon and I’m really proud of the what you’ve created here. Well done and thanks for having me score the music for this project 🙏🏽🎵
Keep creating films! 😊

Powerful video. Makes you realise how dangerous gangs are.
Shout out to Leon for directing this banger

Wtf😂

cant lie that guy really looks after jason he would be a great friend if he werent doing what he does
Props to you lot for this. Great stuff. It’s just an oxymoron being on this channel next to the majority of music that glamourises it rather than showing the cold hard truth like this does...
This is exactly what happened to cj 7th he was 14 and was asked to sell drugs and then a opp pulled up and shot him to death he died at 14 and his Mum knew what was happening and cj felt endangered so they contacted newham council and they done nothing about it and now cj is dead at just 14 rip I feel like this is based of his story a bit
lol that''s not what happened
Cj was following the damnd train
@@afgakhialjazeera3144 rahhh
So excited to be apart of this project.. so proud of how it came out- thank you leon for the opportunity

Sedgehill uniform! Legendary.

Powerful reminder.

Mans got mad skills to get a tie that short
lmfao
Mans waves 😂😂😂
Awesome film!
This made me cry
Powerful Message‼️
Thank you for your support Donso
Dang to know this actually happens in London is crazy. Young lives lost, families ruined just so someone can use children as there drug trade and kill them when they are useless 😭
Its Cause your oatmean bro
This os such good acting man its q good message but a sad one too
This is deeper should be used in schools for sure
The official website includes teaching resources that can be downloaded for use in schools www.fairtrademovie.co.uk/
WHO GOT THE DRUGS IN? I DID I DID!!!
My man looks like Young Dizz too🤣🤣
It is him
@@Murda30573 it j isn’t tho 😭
This shit is mad cheesy sprinkled with some token stellar performances. The YG was on point.
How is he so easily enticed by this guy
Ok I know having a short tie is hard but the first is just 💀💀💀
That just the real life don't see it getting better:(
Hopefully this can be step towards change...for the better
We need a part 2
Great Talent within.. Rated & Respected.
5:28 why he bump my man so hard
😂😂😂😂
An absolute vicious cycle, extremely sad. Young boys groomed and exploited into the under world. Very fucking sad..
Thanks for such an amazing video, will share
this is true story icl but seriously good job link up tv it was a really good short film and the fact that the big roadman just picks every kid he sees is mad when he turn them into his younger like for the second time in the end. The first kid that turns into younger actually looks like fumez the engineer, maybe he is just related but anyways good work
this is really good. there should be a storyline where it comes across to youngsters that this is also grooming and a form child exploitation. Maybe if you show different kids with different stories [i.e. from a drugs perspective and a sexual exploiting perspective (as in expecting a return for a favour)] then in the end emphasise that all the scenarios seen is child grooming.
Opps n ur just looking at them 🤣🤣
They need part 2
Jokes aside this is a clear representation of how society is nowadays.
