This
powerful
film
draws
upon an
England
on the
verge of
multi-culturalism,
a time
when ska
and
skinhead
culture
briefly
came
together
only to
be
snuffed
out by
the rise
of the
National
Front.
Shaun is
a mouthy
yet
vulnerable
lad who
falls in
with a
friendly
and
diverse
bunch of
skinheads.
When an
older,
tougher
member
of the
group
returns
home
from
prison,
his
seductive
calls to
patriotism,
masking
overt
racism,
divide
the
group.
Directed
by Shane
Meadows
