In England, circa 1983, a young boy whose father has been killed at war falls in with a group of teenage skinheads. An unflinching, often humorous and grippingly uncomfortable look at the politics of hate, disenfranchisement and what it means to love (or hate) your country. This movie has a strong way to show a drama and this movie nails it on the spot.

I am not from England, and do not know much about the background behind this movie. By others' comments it seems that this is an accurate depiction. This movie was phenomenal. Absolutely heart-wrenching and deep. Would suggest it to a lot of people.

A brilliant film that observes racism, not through the eyes of everyday people, but through the eyes of the fringe social outcasts who are trying to change England. Raw, chilling, and in your face - it's an unexpected look at conflicting emotions of hatred, hope, and fear that will make you think, long and hard, afterward.
