This Is England

CrimeDrama101 min

In 1983 England, a lonely boy named Shaun falls in with a local skinhead group and, for a while, finds the friendship, swagger, and sense of belonging he has been missing. Their days are full of jokes, petty trouble, and the rituals of a shared style, but the group changes when an older, volatile figure named Combo returns. As Combo pulls the others toward his angry nationalist politics, Shaun is drawn deeper into a world that mixes camaraderie with intimidation and violence. Thomas Turgoose and Stephen Graham anchor a story about adolescence, identity, and how quickly a place to belong can become something harsher.
