PROTECTOR is a taut thriller set on the streets of Birmingham UK that brings a tension to a working environment similar to Boiling Point and Spotlight. The film will cast light on a world that is familiar on the surface but much deeper than any outsider might imagine. Due to the investigative nature of a social workers job the film will also borderline on the crime/private detective genre as our protagonist delves into various cases to unravel the truth in the stories she is told. An air of mystery and sense of unknowing will be created that most audiences would not expect. This is a world that has not been seen before in details on either the big or small screen so not only will it feel original in its setting but will create controversy and conversation that is sure to attract an audience.
Protector does not let up from start to finish. Inspired by classics like Taxi Driver, The Bad Lieutenant and You Were Never Really Here, the film tells a familiar tale with a current, realistic twist, showing how cruel the world can be and the sacrifices made by those who protect the innocent...but not every child can be saved...
