Saul Dibb

Bullet Boy

Interviewed by Adrian Hennigan

You always have a responsibility making a film

Saul Dibb has never been afraid to mix with bad company. His documentaries frequently look at people living on the wrong side of the tracks. Lifters, for example, was about serial shoplifters, while Easy Money looked at a couple working within the porn industry. Now he makes his directorial debut with Bullet Boy, a searing examination of gun culture among young black Londoners.
