The Little Kings
The Little Kings
2017, English. Directed by Darrell James Roodt.
JACK SHANNYN (Justin Strydom), a disgraced former cricket captain has been banned from the game for match fixing, with almost nothing to his name, no job or a place to stay and debts looming over his head. Eventually he finds a job at a school in a small coastal town teaching a bunch of misfit kids how to play cricket. We are first introduced to Ricky, the new kid, who has been expelled from schools because of his short temper. Ricky tries to stay out of trouble but with his newfound friends he lands up in the Principles office more once. As punishment the boys are forced to play cricket after school with Mr Shannyn, who finds it disgraceful that his game of cricket is nothing more than detention.
