Title: 12 O’Clock Boys
Director: Lofty Nathan
Released: 2013
Plot: The 12 O’Clock Boys are notorious in Baltimore — an urban dirt bike gang idolised by some for their adrenaline-fuelled lifestyle and abhorred by others for recklessly putting others in danger.
Lofty Nathan’s film tells their story through the eyes of Pug, a youngster from Baltimore’s Westside who is desperate to fall in with the Boys.
What the critics said: “The film depicts the home life of Pug and his mother Coco, and while revealing, the footage can at times seem voyeuristic.” (Elisabeth Garber-Paul, Rolling Stone)
Random YouTube comment: “Pretty sad how this stupidity is glorified by the Times and other media outlets.” (Nic van Orton)
