This is England
A young boy becomes friends with a gang of skinheads. Friends soon become like family and relationships will be pushed to the very limit.
This is England, is a story of summertime school holiday, those weeks between terms where life changing events can take place.
It’s 1983 and school is out. 12-year-old Shaun (Thomas Turgoose) is an isolated lad growing up in a grim coastal town, whose father has died fighting in the Falklands war. Over the course of the summer holiday, he finds fresh male models when those in the local skinhead scene take him in.
With his new friends, Shaun discovers a world of parties, first love and the joys of Dr. Martin boots. Here he also meets Combo (Stephen Graham), an older, racist skinhead who recently got out of prison. As Combo’s gang harass the local ethnic minorities, the course is set for a rite of passage that will hurl Shaun from innocence to experience.
Tickets on sale soon.
