This is England


This movie takes up a lot of issues like racism and the Falklands War. The Falklands War was between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the disputed Falkland Islands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. It lasted from April 2. 1982 to June 14. 1982. “This is England” deals with the effects of the war on the Skinhead culture in England. It is set in July 1983, and we meet 12-year old Shaun who becomes friends with a group of skinheads. His father died in the Falklands War, and we see how this influences him.
