Ill Manors

Ill Manors is a British crime drama set in Forest Gate, east London, where several lives intersect over a few days. Among them are Kirby, newly released from prison and looking for a way forward; Ed, who will stop at nothing to recover his lost phone; Michelle, whose life is consumed by her search for the next hit; and the young Jake, who is drawn into the violence of a local gang. Chris is driven by revenge, while Katya is a stranger in England desperate to leave the country. At the centre is Aaron, who is trying only to do the right thing in a world where that may not be possible. Their stories circle around drug use, prostitution and urban poverty.

The cast includes Riz Ahmed as Aaron, Ed Skrein as Ed, Natalie Press as Katya, Anouska Mond as Michelle, Mem Ferda as Vladimir and Dannielle Brent as Jo, with 21 credited performers in total. It runs 121 minutes.
