Xmas Homework blogging task- Based on kidulthood(20)

The film I decided to base my homework on was Kidulthood. Produced back in 2006. Which was in my opinion a success, based on the fact that the target audience whom received it, fell in love with it. Its about three teenagers, and we watch the craziness they go through in only the matter of two days, meanwhile the film lasting one hour and twenty-seven minutes.
