(James Nesbitt) returns to Manchester having travelled the world
and settled in Singapore after his wife's death. He returns with

best friend Pete (John Thomson) who is struggling with depression

Double bill of British dramas about football violence and
hooliganism. 'The Football Factory' (2004) is based on the novel by
John King. Tommy Johnson (Danny Dyer) is a bright but bored
30-year-old with a steady job and close-knit family who lives for
the weekend life of casual sex, lager, drugs - and violence.
Through him we meet three other males in his world: Billy Bright
(Frank Harper), a right-wing fascist full of bitterness at a
country that he perceives as having failed him; Zeberdee (Roland
Manookian), a mouthy hooligan whose life revolves around crime and
drugs; and Bill Farrell (Dudley Sutton), a 70-year-old war veteran
who tries to enjoy every day to the limit. Shot in documentary
style using a handheld camera, the film realistically captures the
lure and potency of football violence. 'Arrivederci Millwall'
(1990) follows a group of hardcore Millwall supporters as they
travel to Bilbao in Spain for England's World Cup matches in 1982.
Their rowdy behaviour soon leads them into trouble, and the
violence escalates as Billy Jarvis (Kevin O'Donohoe) steals a gun
to avenge his brother's death in the Falklands conflict.

In the spring of 1987, an undeniable front runner emerged in the race for the Democratic Party’s Presidential nomination: Colorado Senator Gary Hart – whose smarts and charismatic idealism seemed all but destined for the White House and the making of a new chapter in American history.
By April, Hart had opened up a gaping lead in the polls. Three weeks later, in a spectacularly public fall from grace, he was out of the race and Presidential politics forever.
Drawn from Matt Bai’s book, All The Truth Is Out, the film zeroes in on those very last few days in which Hart’s promise and Presidential hopes fell apart.
