Made in Britain (Clarke, 1983) (Special Edition)

Film Description

When teenage skinhead Trevor (Tim Roth) is apprehended smashing the windows of a shop owned by Pakistanis, social worker Harry sends him to an assessment centre where Trevor proves to be far more intelligent than one would be led to believe. But he is not easily contained, and it isn't long before he's back on the streets, stealing cars and leaving a general trail of mayhem. From a fact-based screenplay by David Leland, Alan Clarke's film is a hard-hitting drama that received almost unanimous praise when it debuted on TV in 1983. Filmed on location in London with a documentary-style approach, and featuring the blazing screen debut of Roth, Made in Britain is a landmark of socially conscious British cinema.
