London – The Hobbs & Shaw actor Idris Elba will play lead in the new BBC documentary film related to knife crime in the United Kingdom. Elba will explore “the reality of knife crime and examines potential solutions to solve the crisis.” Titled Idris Elba: A Year of Knife Crime, he will talk out solutions with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and King Charles, to solve the youth violence. he said: “So many people dismiss knife crime as something that doesn’t affect them, assuming it’s a black and brown urban and gang-related problem – but this couldn’t be further from the truth. White, middle-class and rural areas are also affected, perpetrators are getting younger and fear is spreading.” He hopes that the forthcoming movie will help in changing stereotypes.
