This is England tells the story of Shaun (Thomas Turgoose), an 11-year-old kid growing up in the Midlands.
Set during the summer holidays of 1983, 'This is England' follows 11-year-old Shaun's rites of passage from a shaggy-haired ruffian grieving the loss of his father, into a shaven headed thug whose anger and pain are embraced by the local skinhead fraternity.
Winner of the BAFTA for Best British Film and featuring a cast of stellar British acting talent including Stephen Graham, Vicky McClure and Joseph Gilgun, this iconic coming-of-age drama from writer-director Shane Meadows celebrates its 20th anniversary with this special screening to mark the occasion.
