Marching Powder Synopsis

MARCHING POWDER sees the long-anticipated reunion of acclaimed director Nick Love (The Business, The Sweeney, The Football Factory, The Firm, TV’s Bulletproof) and long-term collaborator and national treasure Danny Dyer (TV’s EastEnders, The Football Factory, The Business, Human Traffic). This isn’t your average ‘rom-com’…Set in the irreverent and profane world of cult classic The Football Factory, MARCHING POWDER is a hilarious, poignant and action-packed big screen drama that follows the story of Jack (Danny Dyer), an aging, drug-taking football hooligan who feels increasingly irrelevant in today’s society as he struggles to keep his family together. Hooked on drugs and adrenaline; and struggling to resist the pull of his gang of fellow football fans, Jack is arrested after some violent matchday exploits and given six weeks to turn his life around, or else face a long spell in prison. Juggling his marriage, his mates, his hard-nut bully of a father-in-law and his wayward 25-year-old stepbrother, Jack tries to get his life back on-track but slowly his world starts to spiral out of control. There’s romance, there’s comedy, but this ain’t no ‘rom-com’…this is real life, on the line.
