A nuanced, balanced look at to the controversial practice of restraining and secluding youngsters in schools, mental health and juvenile justice treatment centers in the USA. Weaving animation, archival and contemporary location footage, an original score and hard hitting intimate interviews, Real Danger delivers an unexpectedly uplifting portrayal of the strength of the human spirit in some dire circumstances.

Stevie G

Director, Umut Gunduz, is Stevie's brother. Whilst Stevie served his last prison sentence to date, the two made contact again after many years silent. It wasn't long before they both began to talk of their childhoods and it was then that Umut suggested the making of a film to Stevie. Having never really grown up together, Umut attempts to discover his brother through the medium of film. As he collects the footage and sifts through hours of family home video, he learns more and more about Stevie and begins to piece the young man together for himself, telling a complex story of guilt and misguided choices that inevitably lead to a life of crime, violence and separation.
