This is England: Mods, New Romantics, and Skinheads are the major youth
sub-cultures of this very English summer of 1983 and young 12-year-old
Shaun is left wandering aimlessly alone and lost during the start of his
school holidays, until his chance meeting with Woody and his fun and friendly
Skinhead pack. Finding a new lease of life; girls, parties, Ben Sherman
shirts, Doc Martin boots and shaven hairstyles young Shaun is welcomed, life
during this summer holiday has got a whole lot better. That is until Combo
arrives on the scene bitter, dangerous, racist, militant and psychotic life
for young Shaun has just approached his first major crossroads. This is
England is a look back at the early eighties of British working-class life
through the eyes of young Shaun and his new gang, and dealing with the
bitterness of outside influences such as racism and xenophobia, of mass
unemployment and the fall out of the Falkland's War.
