Twockers

A gritty and lyrical docu-drama made for British television, Twockers revolves around the dead-end lives and hope-inspiring loves of teenage car thieves. Told in beautifully composed static shots, against the backdrop of bleak Yorkshire landscapes, with the nonprofessional cast essentially playing versions of themselves, Twockers offers an empathetic, insider’s view of rough-and-ready life on the dole.
