BSR (British Social Realism) films show the gruesome reality of everyday life in mainly working class societies. This story may make a good BSR film, as the raw violence of a stabbing relates back to theme of Crime and violence which in itself is a theme explored greatly in the BSR genre, with films such as; Kidulthood, Adulthood, Shank, Ill Manors and etc. The theme of crime and violence may have relation with this story as this stabbing may have gang connections, and also the act of stabbing is a violent act. Possible setting this film may be set in would be the area of Ilford which is North - East London. There has been 268 crimes recorded in the area of Ilford, which the highest figure of crime is 'Violence and Sexual Abuse' these statistics portray the area of Ilford and how it is corrupt. The possible protagonist for the film, would be the man who was stabbed, as it may show his life beforehand, and how he got himself into this violent predicament and situation. The possible storyline for this film, may be that the man owed money to these two suspects, maybe due to drugs or whatever else. The stabbing may appear at the end of the storyline and prior to this, the mans day to day life will be shown, and how his life changed.

Drugs and crime is a theme looked at continuously throughout BSR films being shown recently, so this news story can possibly make a good film, as it can be a sort of documentary styled movie, focusing on these criminals, selling and distributing the drugs to the streets. Also the theme corruption of youth can be included as the two men, may have involved teenagers into the distribution of these drugs. Also this film can show the actual event of the police breaking into the house, and show that 'One man was seen throwing a quantity of cash out of the window'.
'Drunk' man tries to move fixed concrete boulder in Romford for 17 minutes
This news story can be made into a BSR film, by using the theme of domestic abuse and even drugs. This may seem very peculiar as the footage shown doesn't show much but a drunk man attempting to move a near impossible object with his bear hands. The themes of domestic abuse can be shown in a film revolved around this story, as the man himself may have a family at home, with his wife and kids, but he may violently come home drunk and abuse his wife, although this footage shows a humorous side of being drunk, alcohol and drugs can be a major factor that contributes to domestic abuse. Throughout the film, it may show the mans life being perfect and going well financially and emotionally, however a certain circumstance may occur, that turns his life upside down, and results him into becoming and alcoholic, and becoming financially unstable and end up stuck in a working class society.
