An interesting film - review and clips from NPR

Hey Folks -



Here's what looks to me like an interesting movie: "This Is England."

Here's a bit of what you can read or hear (and be sure to find the "Watch 'England' Clips" section down the page a ways):


Maggie Thatcher's England, 1983, just after the Falklands war: In a town where there are no jobs, men who want to support their families head off to become cannon fodder, leaving their children behind. Shaun is a smart 12-year-old, who lost his father in the war, and who therefore, in the merciless logic of the schoolyard, gets picked on constantly. So his eyes are blurred with tears as he blunders into what looks like trouble: a gang of skinheads lounging beneath an overpass.
