SIXTEEN available to download now

SIXTEEN, written and directed by Rob Brown, is now available to download on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Blinkbox, Xbox, Sony, Wuaki and BFI Player.

Critically acclaimed on its cinematic release in March, the urban thriller stars Roger Jean Nsengiyumva as Jumah, an African former child soldier, brought to London by an aid worker he now lives with. As his sixteenth birthday approaches, things seem to be going well for Jumah. But when he witnesses a stabbing, violence threatens to force its way back into his life.

The film, which earned nominations for Best Debut Feature and Best British Newcomer when it screened at the BFI London Film Festival in 2013, also features Alexis Zegerman as DI Iqbal.
