Experiencing Interruptions?

MAGNET

This gripping British faith-based drama stars Michael Matias as Kevin—a young man tormented by a past he can't undo, and a future shaped by it. Michael, known for his role as Marcus in Up On The Roof—where he starred alongside Maisie Williams of Game of Thrones fame—delivers a powerful performance in this intense role as protagonist. Despite his cold and menacing exterior, Kevin harbours a deep-seated cry for justice. His inner demons however constrain him, causing the justice he seeks to enforce become the very injustice he inflicts on others. As Kevin walks a perilous road, surrounded by both allies and adversaries, he's forced to confront a vital question: can he tell who truly has his back and who’s waiting for him to stumble?

Themes: This story is one of redemption and hope - it considers unique perspective for addressing youth decadence, violence and crime (including prevalent issues of gun and knife crime), while also touching on poignant matters such as domestic abuse, mental health, suicide, gang violence, and above all redemption.
