Due to a court injunction, this film is no longer allowed to be distributed in the UK.
During the making of Traffic, the film was carried around on a hard drive to prevent the local authority staging a break in and seizing the footage.
The deadline for the film being submitted to the BBFC was almost missed due to processing times. The director and producer drove to London personally for it to be hand delivered. They arrived at 2am only to find that the BBFC building had no letterbox. The film was eventually left with a security guard of an adjacent building who offered to drop it in when they opened. Pete then drove back to Leeds, just in time for work.
The drink driving video completed by Pete Middleton Pictures in 2012 was added to Traffic due to the false allegations made against the director. Traffic was given an injunction to prevent it's release.
It's estimated 11,000 children per year are taken into care by the local authorities in the UK. The majority of these children are taken from happy families to meet annual targets whilst genuine victims such as Baby P and Daniel Pelka are over looked.
