- Title: Walk On The Wild Side
- Date: 16th February 1994
- Summary: DON'T BE A COOLIE: "Whoever gets the money has the power". A thirty minute film about crime, violence and fun seen through the eyes of three Muslim boys in Birmingham. They won't take the shit that their parent's generation took. If you try and dis them you're making a big mistake. They are people who can take care of themselves and who can wield power in an area where the rule of law does not extend very far. For them the reality of life is that violence and money are inseparable. We also see the strong bonds of friendship and loyalty that lighten up their lives and which will surely last a lifetime as they run around Birmingham in their unending quest for wealth and fame. DON'T BE A COOLIE is a record of them on that quest. Their outlook on British society is disrespectful and irreverent. But it also has a serious twist - get rich quick any way you can. Directed by Liz Ingram and Don Coutts.
