We Are the Freaks

In a surreal and anarchic anti-teen film, three misfits embark on a weekend they will never forget, set against the backdrop of Margaret Thatcher's resignation in November 1990. Filmed on location in Birmingham over just 15 days, this scrappy comedy-drama captures the raw energy of youth rebellion, with a talented young cast bringing to life the script inspired by writer-director Justin Edgar's own home movies from his teenage years. With its unique blend of humor and political resonance, We Are the Freaks is a standout anti-teen film that refuses to be bound by conventions.
