Cast of a Moss Side Gang Film

In a story about 'Colour Candy', a new film about Moss Side gangs, the paper sent me to photograph its two most prominent cast members - Leah Hackett, a former Hollyoaker, and Keicha Greenidge, a Moss Side native whose brother died in a gang-related incident, and as such has a credible attachment to the project.

Manchester is fabulous for these grungy Victorian railway tracks and smoking alleys. This city centre street was an unholy alliance of industrial history, and startling graffiti art.

(I've been asked to add that Keicha is in fact from Longsight, not Moss Side - my apologies).
