Why you might like this:

Fans of gritty, socially-conscious dramas will appreciate director Sebastian Thiel's 2012 film Illegal Activity, which offers a raw, uncompromising look at the devastating impact of the drug trade on a London housing estate. The film's intense performances, particularly from stars David Ajala and Shanika Warren-Markland, ground the story's themes of desperation and moral decay in a compelling human drama.

About

In ordinary language, a crime is an unlawful act punishable by a state or other authority. The term crime does not, in modern criminal law, have any simple and universally accepted definition, though statutory definitions have been provided for certain purposes. The most popular view is that crime is a category created by law; in other words, something is a crime if declared as such by the relevant and applicable law. One proposed definition is that a crime or offence is an act harmful not only to some individual but also to a community, society, or the state. Such acts are forbidden and punishable by law.
