Forthright but dignified, British doc “The Hard Stop” grapples sincerely with the cultural context of a wave of riots that broke out across England in the summer of 2011, in the wake of the fatal police shooting of London resident Mark Duggan. In the interests of conveying and humanizing a narrative sidelined by more mainstream accounts, director George Amponsah explores his subject largely from the perspective of two of Duggan’s friends, men at the epicenter of protests that degenerated into violence. Though it premiered at Toronto, this humane account will be released locally in summer 2016, around the five-year anniversary of the original events, which should boost its audience. Enterprising U.S. distribs should also note the pic’s topicality in the post-Ferguson climate.

Trevor was saying Duggans Maw was talking at a BLM rally. There was one in Dublin yesterday About 150 of the spastics.
I wonder if there would be any mention in the film that Mr Duggan was in a taxi on his way to shoot another gangster when he was stopped by the Po Po? What a rubbish excuse for a gangbanger he was, didn't have his own gun and didn't have his own car. Borrowed the gun and hired a feckin mini-cab to take him to the hit. One less moron roaming the streets. Also, didn't they get the memo that said it wasn't a riot but an "uprising"?
I have seen a hobo with a firearm, but that was a few months ago. Said hobo was shooting at stray polecats. In Dunfermline.
