FILM MAKERS
12 O’Clock Boys is a 2013 documentary film directed by Lotfy Nathan. The documentary focuses on urban dirt-bike riders in Baltimore, Maryland and one boy’s fascination with the group, dirt bikes, and his desire to join the 12 O’Clock Boys.
The boy, Pug, was filmed over a three-year period starting when he was 13. The film also includes interviews with several members of the 12 O’Clock Boys as well as Pug’s mother, Coco.
SUMMARY
The 12 O’Clock Boys are a notorious urban dirt bike pack in Baltimore — popping wheelies and weaving at excessive speeds through traffic, the group impressively evades the hamstrung police. Their stunning antics are envisioned through the eyes of young adolescent Pug – a bright kid from the Westside obsessed with the riders and willing to do anything to join their ranks.
What the film doesn’t talk about is HOW did Pugs Mom afford to buy a new dirt bike when she doesn’t work?
