This looks fun.

Foreign: This is England
After receiving accolades galore at a number of major film festivals, British director Shane Meadow’s autobiographical film is receiving a limited one week run in D.C. starting on Friday. Based on his own experiences coming of age in the UK in the early 80’s, This is England follows 12-year old Shaun, a target for bullies and lacking a father figure since the death of his own Dad in the Falklands, as he hooks up with a group of skinheads who take him under their wings. A disturbing look at both the adolescent search for a place to belong as well as a turbulent time in Britain, and by all accounts a film that is not to be missed.

Playing at E Street Cinema for one week only, starting this Friday.
