Choice Brits - Script Factory

PURE (cert 18)

Told from the perspective of a 10-year old boy, Pure is sensitive but uncompromising storytelling about the desperate love between a drug-addicted mother and her son as he battles to keep her ‘clean’ and his family together. An authentic West Ham setting provides a rich backdrop to a fantastically moving drama.
