Scum
Movie • 1979 • Drama
ReportThis is the hard and shocking story of life in a British Borstal for young offenders. The brutal regime made no attempt to reform or improve the inmates and actively encouraged a power struggle between the 'tough' new inmate and the 'old hands'. This film is a re-make, by the same director and writer, of a 1977 BBC teleplay banned before broadcast [see Scum (1991)].

Sort of - one of the youngest inmates (though played by someone 17-18 at the time) is gang raped by three peers while the warder looks on and grins
