The first look teaser trailer for Idris Elba’s directorial debut, Yardie, has arrived.

Starring Aml Ameen and adapted from Victor Headley’s cult novel of the same name, Yardie follows the story of a young Jamaican named ‘D’ (Aml Ameen) who, upon arriving in early 1980s London, finds the young man who assassinated his brother back in Jamaica ten years before. His quest for justice explodes into a violent street war that could end up killing him and his loved ones.
