Scum
Scum is a 1979 United Kingdom Crime film starring Ray Winstone directed by Phil Meheux and produced by Berwick Street Productions with duration 98 min. This 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)].
