Cat no. 212780

Released from prison, a young man is forced to make a tough choice.

Produced by Red Rose Chain in association with young offenders at HM Prison Hollesley Bay in Suffolk, this drama short highlights knife crime and gang violence and the need for young offenders to make the right decisions when they are released from prison. As he prepares to 'touch road', CJ promises his cellmate that he will stay straight and focus on his music. Once he is released from prison, however, CJ feels the pressure from friends and family members to return to his old ways. When the need for money forces CJ into a confrontation with a rival gang member, he must make a snap decision which has the potential to influence his whole life.
