Made in Britain

"Made in Britain" is a "state-of-the-nation" style short film (70 minutes) directed by Alan Clarke and written by David Leland. It was originally broadcast on ITV as part of a series of films called "Tales out of School". As with many Alan Clarke films the director attempts to depict English working-class life realisticially withouth moralizing or complex plots. The films use of strong language, violence, racist idiology and anti-establishment feeling makes it a thought-provoking, powerful drama. Cinematographer Chris Menges was responsible for the atmosphere.
