Folk The Police is a tale of friendship, prejudice and radically different but politically aligned music genres: Hip-Hop and Folk.
Alfie considers himself a man’s man, an independent, ‘says it like it is’ ex-miner. He is also a very sick man, and with his health rapidly deteriorating is forced to move away from his Geordie roots to live with estranged daughter Angela and her millennial activist teenager, Kayla.
A clash between those forging a brighter tomorrow and those wanting to return to the glory days of yesterday is looming, and rapidly threatens to destabilise the entire household. But when Alfie meets Kayla’s boyfriend Marcus, their shared passion for music throws them into a new reality that neither is quite prepared for.
