Growing up in the 70’s/80’s as a mixed race girl in the UK, I remember those ‘looks’ from neighbours! Getting called ‘P*ki’ even though I’m half Jamaican. My white mum trying to ‘tame’ my hair.
An amazing short film!
This must really relate to you
Racists aren't exactly known for intelligence
Some here! Mixed race ,-spanish/ Jamaican- got called Paki all the time.
Thanks for teaching
When employment is low and people are struggling they tend to want someone to blame
I need an entire season after watching this
Same.
Come Cass give us more.
Same this gave me “This is England” vibes
For real!
Same
This was insanely good. The acting was incredible and it talks about one of the biggest parts of British culture that doesn't get talked about.
real skinheads aren't racist
A great film which reminds me of growing up in London in the seventies. In those days of Ska music and skinheads and the paradox of national front skinheads who liked Ska. A scary time too because walking down the road past skinheads it was difficult or impossible to tell if they were the black-friendly skinheads or the black-hating ones. I had some black skinhead friends too - how much more difficult and scary it must have been for them too.
I have frequently seen Confederate flag waving 'good ol boys ' who paradoxically love gangsta rap
Weird..
Brilliant!!!!!!. I'm 51 and grew up when all this stuff was going on. Every time i watch stuff like this, i'm just so grateful to have been brought up by parents who held no prejudice against anyone, My mum and dad are gone now but ill always be grateful for that And I taught my kids the same.
Vicky McClure ! She played in "This is England" as "Lol" ! Great !
No one mentioned that Kez from the This is England film was the skinhead that Rude Girl likes.
Good little film. Such a strange and paradoxical time though. Skinheads, though starting off as a movement that was racially harmonious, listening to ska and reggae, eventually ending up largly going in the opposite direction and being infiltrated by racist politics. It's sad that so many today that still associate skinheads with racism are not aware of the movement's original and true inter-racial origins. Thankfully there are many original non- racists skins about even today. I could sadly imagine them unjustly being wrongly labelled racist when the opposite is the case. Must be very frustrating for them.
Chenzo1969 it is
Skinhead is also an iconic Gay character
Yeah this is something they can’t get their head round over here in North America. I moved from UK in 1990 ... Ive tried to explain this weird transition when skinhead moved from 2Tone to NF and people here don’t believe me. Same with how u could have black and white best mates in high school. The one would go NF after school and their own black mates from school would be “off limits” for a bashing but anyone else black was considered fair game. Wot weird set of rules.
I can't abide knuckle dragging racists, regardless of colour they're still fucking human beings.
@@KarmasAbutch Yep Real skinhead was before that 2tone 79 early 80's revival of ska, based on black and white working class culture and the music was reggae and old ska bluebeat trojan labels. It all started to go stupid when those cunts hijacked the movement and the crossover white working class punk labelled Oi went more and more extreme and turned it into a nationalist fascist movement and they abandoned any black influence - fucking idiots.
I used to go to punk gigs in a jamaican club and it was harmonious until those wankers showed up.
Incredible short. Worthy of all the awards it’s picked up.
Had a larger skin head gang round my way in late 70s early 80s the main guy was black. Just blasted out ska music all day.
Our crew leader was from Jamaican parents, we were skinhead brothers.
same time I was a skin in London
Skinheads were punk and ska hence your black leader, the national front stole the skinhead look and that's where racism came about. True skinheads were not racist! Nor were followers of two-tone which is how these guys dressed.
So the story is bent out of shape apart from the ginger skinhead who you could call National Front but he was missing tattoos.
There were times that you could only tell if you were safe by the badges and tattoos.
Yes that was SKA
Decent geeza what Manor u from
Such an important message and hits so close to home, my auntie was walking on her own at 14 and got chased down by a group of over 20 NF skinheads who stomped her out and left her for dead due to her race and nothing was ever done about it n she's still traumatised to this day
shalom goldenberger what u blabbing bout? Evidence?
@shalom goldenberger Yes...but Emily was giving a personal account on behalf of her auntie, who suffered attacks similar to those seen in this film. Also, at no point did she say anything like "and it only happens to black people".
@shalom goldenberger You really had to be that guy?
Emily made a statement in parallell of the clip above. Did you even watch the clip?
The NF came to my hometown in the late 70s for a march. They got battered along the marching route by white, black and the odd Asian. I was just a kid, but the NF scared me more than any other group. We even spotted our neighbour on the local news that night, marching along. Mum and dad didn't speak to him after that.
That’s so sad. Sorry about your auntie.
That stuff doesn’t happen around me and my boys . We make sure of that
Oh word..the mom is "Lollipop " from This is England..one of my top 10 all time flix...👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I thoroughly enjoyed that, hopefully the producers will find the finances needed to make it in to a feature length film. Well done to all involved and what a cracking soundtrack.
PROPPER ENJOYED THAT VIDEO -- THUMBS UP "
The fact Lol is actually in this is banging
I thought that was her
The bloke who is wills is also in TIE
Who is Lol?
@@carlosanaya4149 lol is a character from this is England another great movie !
Bruh I just said to myself, is that lol? Nah... And saw your comment immediately after lmao
Really intelligent film. UK Ska showed the way in 81 to oppose racism through music. Bands like the Clash, who supported Rock Against Racism, gave a platform for bands like the Specials. Black and White standing against the NF. Pauline Black of the Selecter, has written a truly superb 2-tone memoir ‘Black By Design’ that should be read by anyone who appreciates this film.
Hard to believe RaR was formed largely because of Eric Clapton's vile racist rant that most people have never heard of
Remember being at a Specials gig, skins throwing nazi salutes , Terry went berserk told them all to f off or they'd stop playing
This needs to be a series!
A fantastically well crafted, yet succinct account to tackling the issue of British multi-culturalism/social integration in post-WWII and Windrush Britain. Rings loudly of Shane Meadows, which I feel is a definite positive, with incredibly strong performances and one hell of a script. I could close my eyes and cast my mind back to growing up in east London, when 6 members of the same family were killed in Walthamstow, after a National Front petrol bomb was slipped through their letter box one night. Yep, like the film points towards, there were times it was that bad. (See 'Yunus Khan Close or 'Belgrave Road' in London E17, circa 1981/2, and it's backstory). The dialogue in Beverley rings incredibly true, coming across as accomplished, polished, but most importantly REAL. While we the viewer are treated to en explosive finale, it's important to remember this is one of the truest reflections many have banished to the depths of their collective sub-consciousness. Those memories never really go away, continuing to lurk in the background. From being accused of not integrating enough, to abuse from the same people when you wore an England shirt over the wrong colour skin. You wanted to shout "Make your f*****g mind up!" The irony of mainstream ska as the musical movement of choice for extreme right-wing skinheads has never been lost on me and, as such, the film gravitates to a potentially unifying, multi-cultural movement rooted in a love for the same music. Such hopes were strangled at birth at the time, as the film illustrates, and remains both a baffling and disturbing social and historical twist. Would love to be kept posted of any future projects by the producers. Thoroughly entertaining, informative, moving and accurate. 11/10
Amazing comment. You've put all of my thoughts perfectly into words 💯
One of the best short films I’ve ever seen
Laya Lewis was perfect casting for this. 👌
She was one of the much more enjoyable characters in her generation of SKINS😌
skinhead culture started among young English and Jamaican working-class communities in 1960s London to embrace the reggae music and culture. In 1969 "Skinhead MoonStomp" was released by Symarip. It was the first album to celebrate the British and Jamaican Skinhead music.In the earlier stages of the movement, a considerable overlap existed between early skinhead subculture, mod subculture, and the rude boy subculture found among Jamaican British and Jamaican immigrant youth, as these three groups interacted and fraternized with each other within the same working class and poor neighbourhoods in Britain.
Absolutely superb....
This really needs to be made into a full length film, it's better than most of the shite that's made nowadays
Proud to have contributed to this film xx
And so you should be
How did you help with the making of this short film? It's fantastic, could have easily been a four part series or even a movie!! The yardie flat would be a great recurring location if it was longer, as someone who has scoured through hundreds of independent short films this one is up with the tops for sure, Layla as the lead smashed it too! I remember when she was in gen 3 of skins
We consider it a film made by the people for the people it was also crowd-funded, incredible support - watch now uploaded Behind The Scenes
This is excellent, well done to you and all involved!
@@TopBoysTV please try and make a Netflix series for UK and US and the reason I say Netflix is because most people have that now and it would get picked up on there in a second
This 25 minute short had more depth and feeling plus better acting than half the 1:45 minute crap that Hollywood puts out.
Out’fucking’standing very powerful film. Superbly played, directed & produced.. Inspirational.
Honour & Respect, Simon
I love Laya Lewis and Vicky McClure I need a feature film of this
Loved all the “this is England” camera styles and scene similarities and the actors from that film that starred in this. Excellent work.
I was glad that the character Will did the right thing at the end and protected Beverly's brother...I loved this movie even though it was sad
Wondeful film! Congrats to everyone involved on all the success. Well deserved.
Vicky McClure so good in what ever shes in. a real talent we need to see more of her on Tv
Not sure of the name of the actress playing Beverly but she is excellent in this
Laya Lewis rightly won several fest awards for her acting
I really really enjoyed this film. It touched on a lot of subjects and all the people in this film were absolutely on point. I seriously hope they consider a follow up.
On the Silver screen please. Everything was Ace, ACTING, SOUNDTRACK, SUBJECT!!!! Award winning for sure!!! Hope so!
Nicely done and to the point, I was a skin but I hated being put in same category as the national front! Loved the style, music, but ultimately stopped wearing it cos I hated being thought of that way.
I enjoyed watching this short film just wish it could be longer... I need to see another part 👍
Thought this was an exceptional film. Good job on everyone who hand in making this.
Great short film, beautiful lead actress. Thank you.
24 minutes well spent! Keep them coming!
Loved it, great music, fashion, story & characters, would love to see more shame it wasn’t a longer film or series.
Bloody amazing why isn’t there a full tv show of this. Best Iv seen in years
Great shortfilm....great actors/actresses....would like to see more....top notch❤😭👍👍👍
The final shot with the girl silhouetted was a great way to end the film.
I also liked the Rasta's wisdom of mixed-blood people being "one and one".
10/10🔥🔥🔥💯💯 amazing short film, visuals/ audio, script #amazing!!
Outstanding, this needs to be a mini series.
This was an absolutely great Watch, very well done, shame it finished so quickly. Brilliant Acting and a really important situation being forwarded to People. Well Done.
Now this was very good, for a short low budget film it was almost perfect. Outstanding.
Absolutely fantastic. This story could easily expand and go deeper. Hopefully in the future 🙏
Nice 🙂 Vicky McClure and that wite guy in the thumbnail looks like Pukey. "This is England" will always be the best series ever made in my opinion
Not at all what I was expecting in a film about ska, but I’m definitely glad I watched!
Wow what a great short film 👍 congratulations to all involved and the lead actress was brilliant
Fantastic but left me wanting more of the story
jim white I thought exactly the same seeing as I lived that period.
Wanted much more music as well cos’ England was a melting pot back in the late 70s to mid 80s for music and diversity
Perhaps the next one!
This was brilliant! They should have done more series from everyone's pov the way that this was from Beverly's.
Really moving film. Thanks for posting👍🏼
I desperatly want a part two ..... I am going to be devastated if there isn't one when I check now lol...This was fantastic 10/10 !
Yay, original suedehead! The clubs and blues we used to go to were a good mix, some great sounds and the vibe was always on the music. Kinda felt the ending was a little out of time, but there was plenty of memories there to make it a decent little short film. Well done, Cass.
What a fantastic short film... wish it lasted longer. I can relate to this as I'm asian and had problems throughout my years by English lads and girls, believe it or not. Excellent job on this everyone. 😃👏👌
What a fantastic short film well done Cass and Alex 👌🏻
Original skinhead and rude boy subculture was awesome.
Man, this was good! I couldn’t stop laughing at 17:40- never heard such a hilarious uproar in my life! 🤣🤣🤣
I need a WHOLE MOVIE
This was so well done. I was brought to tears.
I wish they'd make a series out of this.
Brilliant short film. 💙
I grew up in highfields.
@3:21 man, that reminds me of my Grandad. He’d be asleep but I couldn’t turn the channel over because he was ‘watching’ cricket. I actually tried once and he woke up and told me off. 😂
So good I watched it twice now hubby is watching it after work so am I, Excellent!!
Fucking classic! Growing up I could never tell if a skinhead was cool or not at first glance. I met people on both sides and over all the scene was always outcast, and violence was always around the corner and even at the gigs. The rhythms and flow of ska and reggae was a crucial light and vibe in a very dark time for many people. To this day you will catch me skanking and swinging baby! I will be listening to ska for the rest of the day.
Vicky Mclure who was in This is England.... Perfect choice
I enjoyed that. Makes me feel very grateful and fortunate that I grew up in a nice part of South East Essex where even though I was one of the only ethnic kids (I'm half Bajan/half white) there, I never experienced anything close to the racism that "Beverly" or "Carl" experienced. I know it's a lot different for those who grew up in most parts of London or the North for example. I'm 45 so I definitely remember the tone of what was going on elsewhere in the country at the time. Also, my older White stepsister went through many phases from Mod to Punk to Goth to Metalhead and one of her boyfriends was a skinhead. He was a nice guy though so that was my first impression of what I thought ALL skinheads were like. I learnt later that there are 'S.H.A.R.P.'s which stands for 'Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice', of which he was one of them.
I also knew a guy who was an ex-skinhead and he was just like one of the skins in this short film i.e. he would go around getting into fights with Blacks and other minorities and then go to Ska nights with his other racist skin pals. I think that's what confuses a lot of people in the comment section as to how can these guys be racist NF thugs and yet go to Ska and Reggae nights. Beats me to this day to be honest!
Also, big shout to Christine Staple if she happens to read this (wife of Neville who's sat next to him in the short). I went out with her briefly nearly 20 years ago now! Top lass and I'm so pleased at how she's doing now :-)
Great film with brilliant actors - I loved it. (pity about the non period Jag with a 1999 number plate)
and the non period double glazing
I did wonder how they managed to make everything look of the time on a low budget. I didn't notice though!
And the road signs not being light blue
Cass really should be producing more films.
Really liked th ending! More to come?
This is a brilliant peice of work. Great story, acting, nicely shot abd a lot of talking points...
I've seen so many of these film/documentary over the years , In 69 I was a young skinhead from west London .
So I have an understanding and a feel for this stuff !
You'd normally associate Cass Pennant to football violence - door work or Big Frank Bruno , but the truth of the matter !
Apart from the accents , he's got it bang on .
Would I go to the cinema and pay to watch , the full length version ?
Every day of the week ......
Short story
One of my pals was dying from cancer a few years ago , I wrote to West Ham football club to ask if they could send a signed team photo ?
They sent a passport size photo of Mark Noble ... Then I saw Roy Shaw at one of Joey Poyles shows , Roy was with a girl that had connections with West Ham . I spoke to her about my pal suffering at the hands of this hidden disease ....she was so understanding and promised to put things right ! Sadly , it just didn't happen ..she must get asked everyday by some punter for something like that ... and "Yes" Welsh Phil did win !
Then I was having a conversation with a fella known as Big Mark , a boxing coach and a man respected in the manor .... told him about my pals plight and to be honest , he was on deaths door but still managed two pints of Stella a day ! Anyway ... we spoke about Sean's cancer, and how this old bin man had loved West Ham before he could walk ! Big Mark invited me to a pub out Iver way ...travelling country good and proper .
I think it was called the Gurkha ? There I met with some of West Ham's old boys ...A fella called Pants and some proper Herbert's !
They had come all that way to give me the biggest bag of West Ham stuff , for Sean Clark my pal ....
In amongst it was a signed book by Cass Pennat , so now I thank you Pants Big Mark and all the boys for making Sean's last few days ....
Well worth living as he smiled laughed and passed away ....
We need more!!! Snd the it ends like that?? Lol we need an entire show about this girl and him and the scene because this is just a tease for real
I so do wish these short movies were available as a full length version......
They would be LONGS then ....
This feels like a Pilot for a Series... I hope it gets funded.
Excellent short film.well done... subtle hard and deep
Excellent, and many lessons to learn....
I really really dig this! Would love to see more. 👍🏾👍🏾
I would love to see this being a feature length film. This was excellent. It was really cool seeing Neville Staple from The specials in it also with Vicky McClure from This is England.
The lead male kieran hardcastle who plays Wilson played kes in the This is England film he wasn't in the series tho and this could easily be a feature of a series
Just watched this, brilliant acting and writing👍😊
I thought this was supposed to be set in the early 1980s, but he was driving a T reg 1999 Jaguar. Barring that it’s a cracking film!
That stood out for me as well. Amazing short that truly captures history.
Old Rasta,s camo jacket is DPM soldier 95 print , very much later than when the film is set . Still very good and fairly accurate production , with a strong message still very relevant today .today .
Poetic licence; to be used by all good artists...
I noticed that too
Rasta was singer King Sounds (youtube him) he was also the MC in film Babylon, came as himself, a real rasta, obviously his fav jacket kept in good nic, class act.
Wow great short film, bonus one of my local Ska bands is on the soundtrack ( Melbourne Ska Orchestra )
very good and a very powerfull story
, has all the hallmarks, for a great tv series , that would be ace
Who’s rocking “DR MARTENS” till this day??
yes sir Oi Oi! boots and braces :) peace
Harrington Jacket Fred Perry tops and Toots playing in the car!
JOE
ME!! got a pair of cherry oxbloods, a pair of traditional blacks and some Dr.M 2 tone brogues. Want to get another pair of slip on tassled brogues . One thing about all this C-19 lockdown business is that has given me plenty of time to put money aside for these indulgences as I haven't being going out and spending so much. When I finally do get to go out again I will look on point though. ;-)
Started wearing them in my SHARP days at 12yo and still rocking them 30 years later. Nothing better than a 15yo pair of 8 holes all broke in and comfy.
This was sick, a very well done to all involved 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This was brilliant, well done... I spent my early years brought up in London in the 70s, white Mother, half cast Dad, rocks thrown through the windows at us haaa those were the days alright!
Soundtrack could be available and I wanted more of this story. Such a good one!
I did all the audio post production on Beverley, including the ADR and the final soundmix, it was a lovely experience, both Alex (the director), and Cass are lovely people and fantastic to work with. I also had my own experiences of skinheads. I grew up in near Basingstoke in the 70's and like most of my mates I was a "hippy" (freak at the time). I wasn't aware of racism in Basingstoke at those distant times. There was only one non-english kid in my year at school and he was a Ugandan Asian. We both left school to become GPO telephone engineer apprentices together, and then went our ways to do other stuff after a few years. My best friend (who I guess was mixed but it was never discussed as his father died before I met him) was attacked and beaten up by skinheads at the bus station after school once. He had darker skin than the rest of us so I think that made him a target. But to be fair, we were all terrified of skinheads (and greasers), but we were just kids, and i was totally ignorant of the wider world back then. It's hard to imagine how much different the world was then. As i say, I was just a kid though.
Erik, you were an absolute pleasure to work with too!
I served the sandwiches on set
My neighbor from back when I was a lad was black and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. She had a warm heart and was like everyones mum.
Really good, being mixed race it helps to educate people showing how hard it can be
Thought provoking, well made
Really enjoyed this and would love to see more - the trauma that some sectors of society have to endure is terrible - but still our experiences and voices are silenced - what a sad world we live in - smh
We need more short films/projects of this qaulity.
That was absolutely brilliant, totally gripping
Brilliant short film would like a number 2
this definitely deserves a feature film or tv series.
Very good acting 👌 I think I prefer the fence when it comes to short films but this one is definitely up there as one of the best. I'm slowly getting hooked on them 😁
Fair enough!
This has Lol and Kes from This is England in. In This is England they were part of the same teenage gang, in this ‘Kes’ is a love interest for Lol’s daughter.......Mindblowing!!!
Short flicks like this and this is england need to be shown in schools , to keep kids from being racist , these sort of flicks keep me peaceful and loving to everyone
Excellent piece of work.
That the girl from skins¿
Yesss
Liv, yeah
I dunno why but she’s like the 3rd Actor to play in a skinhead related project
Cook was in This Is England 83
And Chris was in This Is England 86 and 90
Absolutely brilliant!
