Liz Farahadi also joined director Aaron Truss in the studio to discuss the making of (K)nox: The Rob Knox Story and the rise in violent knife deaths in the UK for the Soho London Independent Film Festival 2021. Can film and TV make a social and political impact, such as 'Scum', 'Nil By Mouth' and 'Network'?
“That’s how I felt. I thought, why aren’t we going out there and saying, ‘actually, I’m completely f**king sick of this. Why can’t we have any change?...There is not enough being done, not just with knife crime, but with a lot of social issues, a lot of mental health issues and because everyone is firing at each other, we’re not really having the RIGHT conversation.”
