City of Tiny Lights
Some secrets should remain buried
Directed by Pete Travis
Produced by Sixteen Films, BBC Film
A gritty London noir that weaves a missing-person investigation through layers of religious extremism and political corruption, trading warmth for moral ambiguity and dread.
In the teeming, multicultural metropolis of modern-day London, a seemingly straightforward missing-person case launches a down-at-heel private eye into a dangerous world of religious fanaticism and political intrigue.
