This Is England
A lonely 12‑year‑old desperate for acceptance infiltrates a volatile skinhead crew, only to discover that the brotherhood he craves may drag him into a deadly clash between loyalty and his own moral limits.
“Run with the crowd, stand alone, you decide.”
Synopsis
A film set in 1983, following a troubled boy growing up in England. On his way home from school after a fight, he encounters a group of skinheads who become his close friends and even act as a kind of family. The story is based on the experiences of director Shane Meadows.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
