In what seemed like a typical hood tale set in London, the British short film Illegal Activity turned out to be one of the most impressive and creative pieces of video that I’d seen in a long time. If you’re a fan of urban UK cinema you’ll recognize a few of the actors, but what stands out the most is the shocking twist ending that no one would see coming. If you have 15 minutes to spare, do yourself a big favor and check out this powerful short film.

I like the twist at the end
I love this! I can usually predict things but that was great!
I was struggling to follow this most of the way through. Then I dozed off real close to the end. I woke up at the twist. I really did enjoy this. Thanks for this post and I can’t imagine if books/reading were illegal again, especially for black people.
Now THAT’s what an “ABC Afterschool Special” should look like! Edgy and thought-provoking story-telling in an urban (relevant) context. Great twist at the end. Very Well Done!!!
What a powerful film. The ending was totally unexpected.
MAN, that’s clever film work!!
I love those “Makes ya think!” plots 😀
That was good…didn’t see the ending coming but I thought about the joke “if you want to hide something from a black person….”
Very powerful. I love the message and I plan to pass it on!
This was a cool lil film. I didn’t know about short films until I visited Discreet City. So many African guys up in this film though but I’m not complaining at all. LOL.
The one lesbian character from Patrik Ian Polk’s ‘The Skinny’ was in this film.
