'A VERY BRITISH GANGSTER' goes inside one of Britain's most dangerous crime organizations, the Noonans, a family based in the grimy industrial city of Manchester, England. Headed by Dominic Noonan, the gang of contemporary criminals opened their lives to director MacIntyre and his film crew, revealing a brutal underclass world that relies upon gangsters for social justice, a community struggling with poverty, violence and drugs.

Over a period of three years, the film follows the legal tangles and personal tribulations of Noonan --- an out-of-the-closet gay thug --- as he lurches from criminal trial to criminal trial. Some of the most poignant scenes are with Noonan’s young son, Bugsy, who expresses admiration for his father yet is torn about entering a life of crime himself. But Noonan is a sociopath with a sense of humor. To the consternation of court officials, he legally changed his last name to Lattlay Fottfoy, an acronym for his family’s motto: "Look after those that look after you, f**k off those that f**k off you."

And, while in solitary confinement, he orchestrated an April Fool's Day "glue down," a super-glue assault on the prison locks in detention centers throughout the U.K. that forced the government to refit the locks in Britain’s penal institutions at a cost of millions of dollars.

Director MacIntyre provides a close-up view of a world embroiled in kidnapping, torture, narcotics and murder --- all headed by the Fagin-like character Dominic Noonan, leading a band of young men and boys, artful dodgers all, into his world of crime.
