No Surrender

1985 · 99 min

A chaotic, darkly funny night out where sectarian tensions and inept entertainment collide, keeping you amused and uneasy.

How it feels: Satirical, dark, absurd and cynical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Class, politics, faith, violence
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
