Scum (1977) delves into the grim and unsettling reality of a British borstal, a correctional facility for young offenders. The narrative unfolds in a harsh and unforgiving environment, where the institutional culture is far removed from the rehabilitative ideals one might hope for. The film portrays a system that not only fails to rehabilitate its inmates but actively fosters a brutal power dynamic. This is exemplified by the intense rivalry between a new, tough inmate and the established residents, creating a volatile atmosphere that underscores the film's raw and uncompromising tone.
