Simi Cheema talks to director and actor Harris Dickinson, about his new film Urchin. 

Urchin is the stunning directorial debut from Harris Dickinson, powered by an outstanding, award-winning performance from Frank Dillane.

Mike (Dillane), a rough sleeper on the streets of London, is trapped in a cycle of self-destruction as he attempts to turn his life around. Moving between short-term jobs and small-time hustles, he must balance the hopeful rush of a fresh start with a past that is holding him back.

By turns exhilarating and poetic, Urchin is a bold, vibrant and utterly unmissable portrait of life on the margins.
