This is England is a British film of 2006 wrote and leaded for Shane Meadows and stared in Thomas Turgoose. It’s a drama centred in young skinheads of the 1980’s beginning.
The film tells the skinhead movement from a human and real view point, moving further away from racist topics and showing when happened the breaking up of the movement in racists and antiracists.
This film, set in the England from de 80s, in the time of the Falklands War, shows the Shaun’s life, a child is 12 years ago, after to lose his father in the war. 
Shaun is a sad and loner boy that he is looking for the acceptance of a group. A day, he meets a gang of skinhead teenagers leaded for Woody, that when they see him so low the try to cheer up him. The gang "adopt" to the boy and Shaun decides to convert himself in a skinhead.
But everything makes difficult when some weeks after appears Combo, an other type of skinhead with nationalist and racist ideas, and he divides the gang to change Shaun and some others in his recruits.
The film was dedicated to the Turgoose’s mom, that she died the 29 of December of 2005; before that she could watch the movie. 
I liked this film very much because it shows you, with a very simple form, something that it’s there, but that a lot of people don’t want to see it. It does you to think about how the people come in that circles that they can unleash in a fatal end (like the end that suffer Milky) and everything for simple reasons like to feel contempt from the society.
This is a moving and realist film about a world of that we generally only know the negative part, but it can have a positive part (like the antiradical Woody’s gang, where Shaun finds some friends that they help, respect and love him).
