Cubs (2006) is a thought-provoking short film that tackles two controversial issues - hunting and gang-culture - simultaneously.

While the film was made the year after the hunting ban came into effect and at a time when the debate about fox-hunting continued to rage, Cubs is not a simple anti-Countryside Alliance piece, even if it does hint at the barbarity of the 'sport'. Indeed, the themes of gang-violence and peer-pressure are prominent
