We Are Monster (2014)


Not released in the US.
Filmed entirely in England.
Based on truths.
The story: February 2000. 20-year-old Robert Stewart is sent to the overcrowded Feltham Young Offenders Institute.
Unknown to many that are newly becoming acquainted with Robert, he has been a habitual offender all of his young life.
He is put in a cell with a mate, 19-year-old Zahid Mubareck.
Zahid tries befriending Robert but to no avail so he just tries avoiding his cellmate as he will be leaving the Institute very soon.
But Robert has many unresolved, deep rooted mental issues as well as being overtly racist, all of which are beginning to weigh more and more heavily on him.
Robert - along with his alter ego, cannot get over being surrounded by many who are not white which causes them to continually plot fiendish events.
Zahid starts getting creeped out by Robert and asks that he be moved to a different cell only to be informed that there is no room to move him.
The warning signs are blindly apparent but what became on the faithless morning in March of 2000 no one would have ever expected.
