Killed by My Debt is a 2018 BBC Three drama film based on the life of Jerome Rogers who died by suicide aged twenty, having accrued debts of over £1,000. The debt was executed by Andrew Maughan of The London Borough of Camden, & Mike Marrs of Marston Holdings Ltd, stemming from two unpaid £65 traffic fines. [1] The film was written by Tahsin Guner who worked closely with the Rogers family. [2] Joseph Bullman was the director. [2]
The film is based on the true story of Jerome Rogers (1995-2016). [3] The practices of real-life organisations CitySprint couriers, Newlyn & Marston Holdings Ltd debt collection agency, and Camden Borough Council are depicted. [4]
John Dugdale, writing in The Sunday Times, gave a positive review praising Perdomo's performance but expressed reservations about the inserted videos featuring other debtors. [6]
The Guardian called it 'a tale for our times'. [7] Suzi Feay in the Financial Times described Perdomo's performance as 'powerfully empathetic' and the drama as being at times 'painful to view'. Concluding, 'only a traffic-warden with a heart of stone could fail to be moved.' [8]
At the 2019 BAFTA TV Awards, Killed by My Debt won Best Single Drama and Chance Perdomo was nominated for a Best Actor award. [9]
