London to Brighton is a 2006 award-winning British film. The film was directed by Paul Andrew Williams. PLOT A very dark and gritty tale set in the underworld of prostitution and violent crime. Two girls, Joanne and Kelly, burst into a London toilet. Joanne is crying and Kelly has a black eye. Eventually Kelly gets them on a train to Brighton, and it is clear they are running from someone. The narrative frequently switches back from the present to the day before. As the story unfolds, we learn that Joanne is an eleven-year-old runaway who is procured by a reluctant Kelly into having sex with an old violent mobster with a taste for underage girls. Kelly's pimp, Derek, bullies her into complying, but it all goes horribly wrong. The older man's son, Stuart, then forces Derek to find the girls. The film maintains a tight atmosphere of menace and fear as the two girls flee London in the wake of what has happened. It also illustrates the growing bond between the two as they fall into an uneasy mother/daughter relationship. Eventually Kelly makes a mistake and Derek descends on Brighton to bring the girls back. Derek and his associate, Chum find the address the girls are staying and wait for them armed with a gun. They proceed to take the two girls hostage upon arrival and are ordered by Stuart to go to a secluded field and deliver the girls to the gangsters. Upon arrival, Derek and Chum are made to dig two graves, presumably for the girls. However, Stuart decides that the girls are the victims in this episode and decides instead to kill Kelly's pimp, Derek and his friend Chum to "pay" for his fathers death. The film ends with Kelly and Joanne driving to Joanne's grandparents' house where she is dropped off and Kelly returns to the streets of London to continue her work as a prostitute.
