Shane Meadows' This Is England, set in early 80s northern England among skinheads and National Front members, was released on DVD on Monday 3rd September.

It won the UK FIlm Talent Award at the 2006 London Film Festival, as well as the British Independent Film Award for Best Independent Film.

The film's pitch-perfect rendition of an 80s northern town, along with its candid look at the politics and attitudes of the time, make it a riveting watch.

More autobiographical than his earlier works, such as A Room for Romeo Brass (1999) and Dead Man's Shoes (2004), Meadows' 11-year-old lead character in This Is England is called 'Shaun Fields' and the director's memories of 1983 certainly influence the movie.
