Netflix's latest miniseries 'Adolescence' has captured audience attention, portraying the gripping story of a 13-year-old boy arrested for his classmate's murder. Released on March 13, the show stands out with its unique one-shot filming technique across four episodes. While fictional, the narrative draws inspiration from the alarming rise in knife crime among the youth in the UK. Writer and actor Stephen Graham, alongside director Philip Barantini, aims to raise awareness of this pressing social issue by provoking conversation around the dire consequences of adolescent violence.
"We'd been asked to create a one-shot piece which was going to be a series... I read an article in the paper about a young boy stabbing a young girl. It made me feel a bit cold."
"There's a real problem with knife crime, certainly in the younger generation... a series of young boys who were killing young girls with knives, and it was really upsetting."
