A Devastated London in Director Mo Ali's Gang Thriller Shank

Mo Ali's first film is a futuristic titled called Shank. The film takes place five years from now in a fantasy created London, where gangs rule the streets. The chances that London, England could fall to gang warfare is unlikely, as Britain has survived Roman, Scandanavian, Irish, Scottish, French, Spanish, German and many more invasions. However, this is a fantasy world created by first time director Ali, with support from writer Paul Van Carter.

And a deadly fantasy world this is! Death is a common occurrence in Shank, with a kill or be killed atmosphere fueling further violence. One brother must rise above the blood soaked streets to stand for a better tomorrow in this trailer for Shank below. If you are feeling the post-apocalyptic vibe of this UK shot film, then get set for the DVD launch October 5th through the Revolver Entertainment Group, with DVD special features provided. All the details are inside.

The synopsis for Shank is here:

"It is London 2015 and merciless gang warfare dominates the decaying capital. The Paper Chaserz stay clear of trouble, but when a conflict with a rival gang gets out of control they find themselves in a terrifying chase across the danger-filled streets of London. They risk their lives in search of revenge" (Shank).
