Slashing The Seats

Here at STS we can often be found with our noses buried in a copy of Vice magazine, possibly because of the propensity to publish full page spreads of senmi-naked women, but why go to the trouble of reading all that close-set typeface when Viceland have a movie outlet? It’s not all hipster-ridiculousness however, as there latest delves into a serious subject with startling results.

According to the bods at the Vice UK office:

Co-directed and produced by Vice UK’s editor Andy Capper and Leo Leigh, *Swansea Love Story* is about the largely unreported heroin epidemic in South Wales. The film is an intimate look at the lives of a gang of young addicts, their families and their surroundings. The film examines how unemployment, the breakdown of the family and the nature of love contribute to the dilemmas faced by a group of young people.

Leo is the son of Mike Leigh incidentally, and it seems he’s inherited his fathers talent for compelling character studies as the film sheds light on a dirty secret that needs to be uncovered. Check out the trailer above and head over to VBS.TV where the film will be airing in 6 parts from February 12th.
