The movie Wild Bill is a British drama, directed by Dexter Fletcher, that was released in 2011. It follows the story of Bill Hayward (played by Charlie Creed-Miles), a man who is released from prison after serving an 8-year sentence. Bill returns to his hometown in London, where he discovers that his two sons, Dean (Will Poulter) and Jimmy (Sammy Williams), have been abandoned by their mother.
Initially, Bill is reluctant to take responsibility for his sons and is consumed by his desire to escape his past and start a new life. However, when he sees the dangerous situations they are getting into, he starts to take an interest in their welfare and gradually becomes more involved in their lives.
As Bill begins to reconnect with his sons, a series of obstacles arises that threaten to derail his attempts to become a better father. He has to deal with his own demons, a hostile gang who wants to take over the neighborhood, and a social worker who is determined to take his sons away.
The film is a poignant exploration of the complex relationships between fathers and sons, and the impact that incarceration can have on families. It features strong performances from its cast, particularly Charlie Creed-Miles as Bill and Will Poulter as his troubled teenage son. The film received critical acclaim and was nominated for several awards, including a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress for Olivia Williams, who plays the social worker.
