The Little Kings

The film follows Jack Shannyn, played by Justin Strydom, a disgraced former cricket captain who faces a multitude of challenges after being banned from the sport due to match fixing. With no job or stable living situation, he takes a position at a school in a small coastal town, where he is tasked with teaching a group of misfit kids the game of cricket.

Among these kids is Ricky, a new student with a short temper and a history of expulsion. The boys, initially resistant to the sport, find themselves in trouble at school and are forced to participate in after-school cricket sessions with Mr. Shannyn, who views the situation as a disgrace. The dynamic between Shannyn and the boys unfolds as they navigate their issues through the game, creating a narrative about growth and camaraderie.
