Scum (1977) follows a defiant young offender transferred to a British reform institution ruled by brutality, racial tension, and predatory authority figures. As he challenges rival inmates and exposes the corruption embedded in the system, cycles of abuse and retaliation intensify within the prison walls. This television drama blends documentary-style realism and social outrage in a stark portrait of institutional failure.
