BAFTA Winner of 2008 in Best British Film, ‘This Is England’ will be showing in the Anthony Minghella Theatre this Thursday.

It’s 1983 and 12-year-old Shaun (Thomas Turgoose), whose father has died fighting in the Falklands war, is growing up isolated in a grim coastal town. Over the course of the summer holiday, the local skinhead scene takes him in.

With his new friends Shaun discovers a world of parties, first love and the joys of Dr Martin boots. Here he meets Combo (Stephen Graham), an older, racist skinhead who has 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.

Starring Thomas Turgoose, Stephen Graham, Jo Hartley, Andrew Shim, Vicky McClure and Directed by Shane Meadows.
