Garnering fund and lab support on both sides of the Atlantic, Down By Law has been tailored with BFI coin support and with the giving hands of three recent Institute initiatives: Sundance’s 2013 Documentary Film Grant, 2014 July Documentary Edit and Story Lab, and the 2014 Creative Producing Summit. George Amponsah’s third docu film looks to be an explosive, observational hybrid type docu that is surely being readied for the World Docu section and Mark Duggan’s story might echo some of the issues that have been brought up with Ferguson, Missouri.
Gist: This follows several years in the lives of two of the closest friends of Mark Duggan, the man whose death at the hands of armed police sparked the UK riots of 2011.
Production Co./Producers: Dionne Walker.
Prediction: World Documentary Competition.
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available. TBD (domestic). TBD (international)
