Gary is 35 and has to be home before 9 pm. Darren
is 21 and can’t show his face after 10:30. They have classes to attend, booze to be avoided, and cocaine not to be touched. But more than that are the promises to be kept: to the wife, to the parole board, to the kids they are hardly allowed to see, and most crucially to themselves – that they’ll never, ever go back to their bad old ways.
Liam Heylin’s dark comedy was inspired by interviews with a group of men struggling to break the cycle of petty crime and prison. Love, Peace, and Robbery is a funny, touching portrait of the human face of the underworld.
