Man Dancin'

Man Dancin' is a 2003 Scottish crime drama film directed by Norman Stone and starring Alex Ferns, James Cosmo, Tom Georgeson, Kenneth Cranham and Jenny Foulds.

Ex-boxer Jimmy Kerrigan (Alex Ferns) is released from a Northern Irish prison after serving a nine-year sentence for arms trafficking and returns to the Glasgow council estate he grew up on where he immediately find his heroin addict younger brother, Terry (Cas Harkins), being attacked by two thugs for dealing drugs on a rival gang's turf.

Though reluctant at first, he soon commits to the project and embarks on something of a crusade to save people around him and bring them into the play; he forces Terry to go cold turkey after finding him shooting up in the toilets of The Garage nightclub, and rescues abused prostitute Maria Gallagher (Jenny Foulds) from her brutal pimp Des Airlie (Gavin Mitchell), one of McGlone's men.

This sparks a change of mood on the estate as two of Maria's fellow ex-prostitute friends seek refuge with Jimmy and the play, and the locals refuse to be mistreated by Donnie McGlone's gangsters.

Father Gabriel subsequently intends to disband the play, but Jimmy convinces him that the church group can raise enough funds to continue it by singing for charity at the local shopping centre.
