B is a real-life person, for the purpose of the documentary, his identity is to remain anonymous. We are looking for an actor who can portray B in re-enactment scenes and memories which will appear in the film alongside B's voice-over.
B was coerced into a life of drug dealing and other gang-related criminal activities from an early age. The film follows his journey away from this life, told through his own words and the charity that ultimately was the catalyst for his recovery. The role will not involve any speaking (as B's real voice will act as narration), but it is essential the actor will be able to convey an emotional sense of isolation, loneliness, and longing.
