use of hermetic code in arrest and jail sentence 

lack of actors names just the names of the band names 

AUDINCES:

teenagers- rebelion and aspirations 

boys- violence

WHY DID THIS COME OUT IN 2015???

police brutality in US and racism is a very big topic and massive issue 

sexual violence or some adult themes are glossed over

Synergy= where two media industries work well together eg film and music
