This Is England Movie
Set in 1983 in Northern England, the drama feature tells the story of troubled twelve-year-old boy Shaun (Thomas Turgoose) living with his widowed mum. During his summer holidays Shaun aimlessly wanders the streets of his small coastal town, until he comes across a dangerous group of local skinheads, led by Woody (Joe Gilgun), who against expectations take him under their wing. The young kid gets a new lease of life by discovering stylish dressing, parties, brotherhood and first love. But when Combo (Stephen Graham), an older, militant, racist skinhead, returns home from prison and is determined to lead the gang on a nationalistic battle against the immigrants stealing their jobs during mass unemployment, Shaun is faced with a dilemma, whether he will stay with Woody or join the charismatic Combo.
