«Это — Англия» — история летних каникул, тянущихся не одну неделю между семестрами, когда могут происходить события, меняющие жизнь навсегда. На дворе 1983 год, и занятия в школе недавно закончились. 12-летний Шон — одинокий мальчишка, живущий в унылом прибрежном городке, отец которого несколько месяцев назад погиб в Фолклендской войне. Во время летних каникул Шон находит подходящий образец для подражания, когда компания местных скинхедов-подростков принимает его. Со своими новыми друзьями он открывает мир вечеринок, первой любви и стильной обуви. Здесь Шон встречает Комбо, более старшего, чем все они, скинхеда-расиста, только недавно вышедшего из тюрьмы. Пока группа под началом Комбо проводит время издеваясь над местными представителями этнических меньшинств, приближается обряд посвящения Шона, который будет означать для него прощание с детской чистотой и невинностью и незабываемый жизненный опыт.

The Falklands Play is a dramatic account of the political events leading up to, and including, the 1982 Falklands War. The play was written by Ian Curteis, an experienced writer who had started his television career in drama, but had increasingly come to specialise in dramatic reconstructions of history. It was originally commissioned by the BBC in 1983, for production and broadcast in 1986, but was subsequently shelved by Controller of BBC One Michael Grade due to its alleged pro-Margaret Thatcher stance and jingoistic tone. This prompted a press furore over media bias and censorship.The play was not staged until 2002, when it was broadcast in separate adaptations on BBC Television and Radio.
The drama tells the story of an Argentine elementary-school teacher sent by the government to a rural hamlet located in the northwestern province of Jujuy. It shows how he touches the lives of the villagers, especially the young and impressionable boy Verónico, whose mother died and father left to seek work when he was an infant. The film is based on a non-fiction book written by Fortunato Ramos, a rural teacher in northwest Argentina, that discusses his teaching experiences.

A powerful Argentine political film stands on the figure of an outsider intellectual, Sebreli, but manages to transcend it, he becomes a touchstone to go through Argentina and its dilemmas, through this country that is proud of almost everything it should be ashamed of. From national icons like Gardel, Evita, Che, and Maradona the film dialogs with recent Argentine history and it does so with extraordinary energy, supported by a rarely seen use of all kinds of archive material in an almost Dionysian state of sampleadelia. The film arrives to a surprising reflection on nationalism, demagogic governments and delusions of unanimity; problems that are common to emerging societies that cannot find their ways to a freer and more egalitarian society.
Archive footage of Australia and New Zealand forces during WW1, WW2 and the Vietnam conflict. Plus home life between the wars, especially focusing on the homage we pay to those who so bravely sacrificed themselves on our behalf. This is all held together by a wonderful script narrated by John Stanton.
