Synopsis
Blue Story (2019) is a hard-hitting London crime drama you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by the rapper Rapman, who drew on his own south-east London upbringing to build the story.
Timmy is from Deptford — quiet, studious, keeping his head down. He starts school in Peckham and falls in with Marco, who is streetwise, funny, and loyal. The two become close fast. Then one confrontation, between people who had nothing to do with them personally, pulls them onto opposite sides of a gang war neither of them chose. Stephen Odubola and Michael Ward carry the film without sentimentality, which is the right call — this is a story where the tragedy is in how ordinary the path to it looks.
The film was briefly pulled from UK cinemas after incidents in screenings, which gives some measure of how directly it landed. Rapman tells the whole thing without looking away. Stream Blue Story (2019) on iFILM.
