By delicately exploring the difficulties faced by an ex-sportsperson adjusting to life following his retirement from the field, Broke proves itself to be much more than just a triumphing-against-the-odds sports movie. Olive Pfeiffer speaks to writer/director Heath Davis, lead actor Steve Le Marquand producer Luke Graham and executive producer Jonathan Page about the true-to-life themes woven into this gritty redemption tale.
