Brassed Off

Directed by British filmmaker Mark Herman, this BAFTA-nominated film is led by a spectacular central performance from UK actor Pete Postlethwaite. Supported by a talented British cast including Tara Fitzgerald, Stephen Tompkinson and Scotland’s Ewan McGregor, the film is both sweet and righteously furious at the same time. Co-produced by Channel Four Films and Prominent Features.
