British football drama Green Street caused a stir in 2005 when German film-maker Lexi Alexander explored the murky world of middle-class football hooliganism from the viewpoint of fictional West Ham fanatics, the Green Street Elite.
The result was an uncomfortable take on the culture of hooliganism in this country (despite the 'Mockney' accents and the misplaced casting of Elijah Wood as an Upton Park brawler). Three years on, Brit director Jesse V. Johnson picks up where the last film left off - with everyone behind bars. Only now the Green Street Elite and the Millwall Bushwackers have swapped stadium terraces for the prison yard and freedom hangs on the result of a single game. A foul-mouthed prison drama that makes mincemeat out of Mean Machine.
Green Street Hooligans 2 is a Film programme that first aired in 2009 and has been classified a 18 certificate.
