E: 12/05 Win A Very British Gangster DVD (email)

Renowned reporter Donal MacIntyre gains deep access to the world of Manchester’s notorious crime family in this gripping documentary to be released on DVD on March 31, 2008

A VERY BRITISH GANGSTER is an all access guide into one of Britain's most dangerous crime families. For the very first time, a group of contemporary criminals open their lives to cameras to reveal a brutal world and an underclass which relies upon gangsters for justice, rather than police.

Britain’s best-known investigative journalist turned director, Donal MacIntyre presents a close-up view of a world embroiled in kidnapping, torture, narcotics and murder. But behind the macho bravado, a poignant world is revealed where a community struggles with poverty, violence and drugs.


The film follows the trials and tribulations of mob boss Dominic Noonan over three years, as he lurches from criminal trial to criminal trial. Dominic, head of the Noonan crime dynasty, a second generation family of Irish stock, legally changed his last name to Lattlay Fottfoy, an acronym for the family motto; 'Look after those that look after you, !!!! off those that !!!! off you'.

Donal McIntyre says, “In three years of watching the Noonans at close quarters I was shocked and appalled, but I was also touched by what unfolded. I challenge anyone to view these frighteningly colourful lives using only a black and white prism.”

A VERY BRITISH GANGSTER is produced and directed by Donal MacIntyre, a respected journalist and former undercover BBC reporter who is famed for his daring yet courageous exploits which over the last six years have earned him plaudits as well as death threats.

A VERY BRITISH GANGSTER will be released on DVD by Contender Films on March 31, 2008
