Written and directed by Ninian Doff in his feature directorial debut, Get Duked! follows teenage pals Dean, Duncan, and DJ Beatroot from Glasgow who embark on a character-building camping trip inspired by the real-life program Duke of Edinburgh Award, where foraging, teamwork, and orienteering are the order of the day. Eager to cut loose and smoke weed in the Scottish Highlands, the trio finds themselves paired with straight-laced Ian, a fellow camper determined to play by the rules.
After veering off the path into remote farmland that’s worlds away from their urban comfort zone, the boys find themselves hunted down by a shadowy force hell-bent on extinguishing their futures, leading to an anarchic journey of generational politics, hip-hop loving farmers, and hallucinogenic rabbit droppings that pits the youth of tomorrow against the status quo of yesterday.
Alongside Eddie Izzard, the film stars Kate Dickie (The Witch), Georgie Glen (Call The Midwife), James Cosmo (His Dark Materials), Kevin Guthrie (The Terror), Jonathan Aris (Vivarium), Alice Lowe (Black Mirror: Bandersnatch), Samuel Bottomley (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie), Rian Gordon (The Rebel), Viraj Juneja and Lewis Gribben.
