Hard-hitting Jamaican drama which examines a side of the country
tourists rarely experience: the inner-city ghettos that are rife
with tension and violence. The film is centred on the story of
Derrick (Kevoy Burton), a 16-year-old whose driving ambition is to
become a professional boxer and to represent Jamaica at the Olympic
Games. However, there is a significant barrier to Derrick's
ambitions: the only gym with facilities and trainers of a
sufficient level to help him achieve his dream is in the rival
'garrison', or ghetto, to his. As Derrick is well aware, crossing
the boundary lines of territories marked out by gangland conflict
and corrupt politics carries risks, not just while in the opposing
territory, but when returning to his own. Will Derrick be able to
balance the pursuit of his dream with the pressing demands of
inner-city divisions?
Arthurian Literature has established its position as the home for a
great diversity of new research into Arthurian matters. Delivers
some fascinating material across genres, periods, and theoretical
issues. TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT The influence and significance of
the legend of Arthur are fully demonstrated by the subject matter

the King. It includes discussion of shapeshifters and loathly
ladies, attitudes to treason, royal deaths and funerals in the
fifteenth century and the nineteenth, late medieval Scottish
politics and early modern chivalry. Elizabeth Archibald is
