The story follows an artist who has escaped his life of petty crime and gangs, and is fast becoming a rising star in the urban music scene. During an interview his manager takes a call that rips the artist’s new life apart. His sister Sasha, who he hasn’t seen for five years, has been found dead – an apparent victim of a knife crime. He must return home to confront his past and go on a journey to find out what happened and who killed his sister.
Choices is a youth inclusion project made with young people from Southampton taking the lead in all aspects of film production – from story, acting, direction, camera work through to the final edit. A truly collaborative process that tries to take a fresh look at the issue of knife crime.
The film was funded by City Eye, a leading community filmmaking resource in South East England who have been promoting video production within Southampton and the surrounding area since 1987. They are a not for profit company and receive financial support from Southampton City Council, and Screen South, the film and media agency for the South.

City Eye support the community, arts organisations, and individuals, emerging and established talent in the achievement of their filmmaking goals.
