A Way of Life is a 2004 British drama film directed by Amma Asante starring Stephanie James and Brenda Blethyn.

She is involved in constant confrontations with her Turkish Muslim neighbour Hassan Osman, and is so desperate to support her baby that she will commit shocking acts in order to get money.

She gets a younger girl (under the age of consent) to have sex with the man, which doesn't come to the attention of the police but is witnessed by Hassan's teenage daughter.

An argument starts as they leave the centre, and it turns into a full-scale street fight in which the three boys brutally attack Osman while Leigh-Anne looks on.

After Leigh-Anne returns home, she is visited by the police, who want to question her related to an attack on Hassan Osman, who had died as a result of the beating.
