George Jaques’ debut feature Black Dog starts on the streets of Brixton and ends on a housing estate in Scotland – but it’s the journey, rather than the destination, that’s important in this rough-and ready teenage road-trip drama.
In Brixton we’re introduced to Jamie Flatters’ Nathan, a wannabe-streetwise foster child who has never been further north than Camden Town. But after a heart-to-heart with a mechanic-slash-father figure Andre (Paul Kaye) he decides to head to Scotland to reconnect with his sister.
