Investigative journalist Donal MacIntyre directs this documentary
examining how football hooliganism, once a very British disease,
has gone global. With football violence having been brought
successfully under control in Britain since its heyday in the 1970s
and 1980s, there has recently been a worrying rise in violence in
Europe, South America, and the United States. In graphic detail
this film charts the history of hooliganism both home and abroad,
examines the motivation behind those involved, and asks what does
the future hold for the hooligan?

Futuristic action thriller prequel starring Luke Goss as a convict
determined to gain his freedom no matter what it takes. In the near
future, as the US economy begins to falter and crime increases, new
prisons run for profit begin to appear. Terminal Island is one such
penitentiary where a regime of brutal oppression reigns. Beginning
his life sentence after killing a policeman, Carl Lucas (Goss) soon
realises his only chance for freedom lies in entering and winning
the latest TV show devised by unscrupulous producer September Jones
(Lauren Cohan). In the last-man-standing 'death race', Lucas must
battle it out against his fellow inmates in heavily modified
vehicles designed to destroy anything that gets in their way.
Vibrant and candid memoirs of the late, great British character
actor, Pete Postlethwaite. After training as a teacher, Pete
Postlethwaite started his acting career at the Liverpool Everyman
Theatre where his colleagues included Bill Nighy, Jonathan Pryce,
Antony Sher and Julie Walters. After routine early appearances in
small parts for television programmes such as THE PROFESSIONALS,
Postlethwaite's first success came with the acclaimed British film
DISTANT VOICES, STILL LIVES in 1988. He then received an Academy
Award nomination for his role in THE NAME OF THE FATHER in 1993.
His performance as the mysterious lawyer "Kobayashi" in THE USUAL
SUSPECTS is well-known, and he appeared in many successful films
including ALIEN 3, BRASSED OFF, THE SHIPPING NEWS, THE CONSTANT
GARDENER, as Friar Lawrence in Baz Luhrmann's ROMEO + JULIET, and
in INCEPTION with Leonardo diCaprio. Pete Postlethwaite was one of
the best-loved and widely admired performers on stage, TV (SHARPE,
THE SINS) and in cinema. In THE ART OF DISCWORLD, Terry Pratchett
said that he had always imagined Sam Vimes as 'a younger, slightly
bulkier version of Pete Postlethwaite', while Steven Spielberg
called him 'the best actor in the world', about which Postlethwaite
said: 'I'm sure what Spielberg actually said was, "the thing about
Pete is that he thinks he's the best actor in the world."' This is
the story of a diverse and multi-talented actor's eventful life,
told in his own candid and vibrant words.
