Having been screened only a handful of times in the 23 years since it originally aired, Storm Damage offers an emotionally powerful, imaginative and complex portrayal of the experiences of young people living in a care home in South London.
In this culturally significant story from actor-screenwriter Lennie James, Danny (Adrian Lester) is an idealistic Black teacher-turned-care worker whose major challenge lies in turning the home’s primary delinquent Stefan (Ashley Walters) away from the negative and potentially fatal influence of local gangster Boniface (James).
Storm Damage is a memorable drama that has achieved cult status; don’t miss this opportunity to see this very rarely seen film.
