Chancers: The Great Gangster Film Fraud

Synopsis: Former criminal-turned-film-director, Paul Knight thought years of going straight had finally paid off, when a couple of producers asked him to direct a big budget British gangster movie. But Paul ended up working for the biggest crooks he'd ever met - and not the smartest ones either....

We talk to the director Ben Lewis about what he discovered while making Chancers.
