SWIFT STREET - stream now on SBS On Demand, distributed by Fifth Season, in Canneseries 2024
Created by Tig Terera, Swift Street is a fresh, gritty, and humorous take on a crime-family drama, starring Tanzyn Crawford and Cliff Curtis, with Keiynan Lonsdale, Bernie Van Tiel, Alfred Chuol and Eliza Matengu.
When street-smart 21-year-old Elsie discovers her hustler father Robert is being hunted down by an unhinged crime boss over a bad debt, she decides to help him, sparking the beginnings of a reconciliation and a dubious reign as partners in crime.
The question is, will helping Robert bring about Elsie’s downfall or will they find a way to save each other?
