Actor John Boyega reunites with writer Kwame Kwei-Armah for Breaking the true story of a  desperate man who finds himself in a desperate situation.

When Marine Veteran Brian Brown-Easley is denied support from Veterans Affairs, financially desperate and running out of options, he takes a bank and several of its employees’ hostage, setting the stage for a tense confrontation with the police.

Joined by the late Michael K Williams, Nicole Beharie and Selenis Leyva, Breaking is a tense re-telling of an emotionally charged story. 

Afua Hagan sat down with John to discuss working with Brian’s family to tell his heartbreaking story and sharing the screen with Michael K Williams in one of his last films.

Breaking is currently available on Prime Video UK
