This Is Birmingham

Stark and gritty British gangland thriller takes us deep into the brutal Birmingham underworld where drugs and violence run rife and urban warfare spreads through the city

This is Birmingham – where the UK’s most brutal underworld gangs battle to gain control as drugs, violence and warfare run rife. Actor Kay S. Ubhi (Starstruck, Blue Moon) makes his directorial debut with this stark, gritty and gripping new British crime drama, set for its UK debut this April.

Birmingham gets the Top Boy treatment with a raw and hard-hitting thriller exploring the dangerous and devastating reality of gang warfare. Following its award-winning run on the festival circuit, This is Birmingham arrives on digital 6 April, courtesy of Miracle Media.

For more than two decades, the Kaleo family – known for running extortion and racketeering operations – has succeeded in controlling major parts of Birmingham’s criminal underworld, but when feared boss Al Kaleo (Navdeep Monga – Man Like Mobeen) is arrested, stability breaks into chaos.

With their leader behind bars, Al’s son Asher (Ubhi) – an ambitious but reckless newcomer – sees an opportunity to prove himself and steps up, against his father’s wishes.

As a rival London gang, led by drug lord Ruvelle (Jag Patel – Good Omens, Mandy), begins to infiltrate Birmingham’s drug trade, a vicious fight for ownership of the city breaks out. Caught in the crossfires is TJ (Marlon Watkins), a teenage runway who gets pulled deeper into a world he doesn’t understand and must face a harrowing choice: escape or be engulfed in a world of danger.

With battles rampaging through the city, loyalties are tested and the streets are rife with brutality and bloodshed, but who will end up on top?

Blending hard-hitting action with raw emotional storytelling, This is Birmingham pulls no punches as it plunges viewers headlong into a world of peril, loyalty and survival.
