In this update on the Sundance nominated `A Gangster’s Funeral` we follow the next generation as they face the life choices that send their parents down a road packed with death, murder, money and mayhem. The Irish gangster family, the Noonan’s, have been decimated by the death of their key enforcer and hit man, Dessie and the jailing of gay crime boss - Dominic Noonan. The charismatic Manchester gangster was convicted with his two young associates - Aarron (19) and Adam (18) on gun charges.
As a result, Manchester gangland is in disarray with no underworld peacekeepers operating: It’s in the grip of a teenage gun crime epidemic. And then; Noonan’s young associates are released early from jail - will they go straight or go straight back to crime?
From inside the heart of a crime dynasty, Donal MacIntyre follows the young guns; to see if the next generation is worse than the last. A four year filming odyssey inside an underworld crime family culminates in a remarkably frank and disturbing journey with the teenagers in the clan as they face jail, puberty, and arrest.
While Britain faces an epidemic of teenage gun crime, MacIntyre spends time with the young ones as they leave jail on one gun charge only to be returned to prison for armed robbery. We witness life on a tag and life on the run and see how difficult it is for the children in this world to escape a life of crime.
The documentary portrays a real life 'Shameless' family as hope and despair cascades through innocence, murder and mayhem.
