Excellent documentary on BBC 4 earlier this week which focused on the subculture of skinheads, which as being a prominent feature in my focus film This Is England , Shane Meadows, 2006, was worth a watch. They mention the film within the documentary adding to its use in my research project and discusses the relevance of the film within the culture. The documentary was called The Story of Skinhead with Don Letts and throughout explores the working class roots of the subculture, adding to my research into working class representation in British Cinema. The documentary is useful due to the fact that it essentially clarifies what Shane Meadows' said in the interview I posted on the blog a few weeks ago and reflects that his aims were scene not just in the film community but within the culture itself.

Time reference for when the documentary discusses This Is England is 55.40-56.23
