Ross Kemp on Gangs

Ross Kemp, renowned for his role as one half of the Mitchell brothers, Grant in Eastenders, and his role in ultimate Force puts in a stellar performance presenting this real life documentary on gangs all across the world.

In this brilliant television series you see everything from the most dangerous football hooligans in Poland, the Nazi ...  Read the complete review

Ross Kemp on Gangs is the Sky1 BAFTA award winning documentary series. During the four series' this show has explored the gang culture in many countries and cities including Jamaica, El Salvador, East Timor, London and Liverpool. For me this series was quite an eye opener on how bad the gang situation is and also the different gangs that operate around the world including the Neo Nazi Gangs of Moscow and Poland, the Roma pick pocketing gangs operating in London from Bulgaria and the teenage gangs in Liverpool and London of which have produced many young victims of murder including Rhys Jones and Billy Cox. I find this show informative and interesting as it also shows was ...  Read the complete review
