County Lines is a powerful and moving coming‐of‐age film about a 14‐year‐old boy who is groomed into a 'county lines' criminal network. Inspired by the stories he heard while mentoring young people at an east London pupil referral unit, writer‐director Henry Blake's powerful feature debut boasts a compelling central performance by Conrad Khan as 14‐year‐old Tyler, with strong supporting performances from Ashley Madekwe and Harris Dickinson.
