He tries to adapt to civilian life but when a gang of ruthless thugs show up at his house tragedy descends a second time, sending Rane on a one-way mission: vengeance at any cost.

SINS OF THE FATHER: A VERY BRITISH GANGSTER 2
 Donal MacItyre is one of Britain’s best-known investigative journalists and has literally put his life on the line to uncover all sorts of wrong doing in his powerful television documentaries. His directorial debut, ‘A Very British Gangster’, was a massively successful fly-on-the-wall feature length documentary about one of Manchester’s most notorious gangsters, Dominic Noonan. The sequel, ‘Sins Of The Father: A Very British Gangster 2’, picks up from when Noonan leaves prison after five years to find his power eroded and his family decimated. His greatest hope of regaining control of the streets rests with his 16-year-old child Bugsy but can the child outlive and survive the sins of his father? In MacIntyre’s own words this is ‘first and foremost a gangster movie. There are murderers, funerals, trials and acquittals but in this instance all the actors and the consequences are very real’. It is also a stunning piece of filmmaking. You could win one of three copies of this DVD, courtesy of High Fliers, by answering the following question: What is the name of Donal MacItyre’s award-winning BBC Television series?
