My Take
Carlton Leach interests me as a study in reinvention. A man from Canning Town who came up through the criminal world and later turned that life into books and the occasional acting role, he refuses to bury his past. I find that kind of unflinching honesty compelling: writing your own dark chapters takes a different courage than hiding them. His story, dramatised on screen, doubles as raw testimony about East London's underworld. I am wary of romanticising crime, but I do respect a storyteller who owns his history fully. Voices that have lived both the light and the shadow carry an authenticity that polished memoirists rarely match.
