Skinhead documentary

All Quiet On The Weston Seafront Documentary Twenty years ago youths on one of Britain's worst council estates formed one of England's most notorious gangs. For over five years, they terrorized Weston-Super-Mare: no Bank Holiday weekend passed without a battle. “Today they are adults-but are they grown up” The photographer film maker John Gilliam, who photographed their exploits twenty years ago tracks them down. Gilliam’s documentary mixes real-life testimony, still photographs and original news footage to give a window on the world. The camera allows the participants to look back on the days of their youth, which reveals a telling contradiction between optimism and nostalgia as these ordinary males tell and retell their stories. This fascinating piece of work takes us back in time and serves up a slice of life that is no more. It summons up in all of us a feeling of reflection on adolescence and the process of growing up.
