This anthology brings together the four films written by David Leland and screened originally in 1983 – the films are: BIRTH OF A NATION, FLYING INTO THE WIND, R.H.I.N.O. and MADE IN BRITAIN.Featuring early roles for Tim Roth and Jim Broadbent, the films form a scathing portrait of British society in the early 1980s, focusing in particular on the polarisation of attitudes towards the role and methods of education in an increasingly fragmented society. Without overtly offering solutions, Leland s films depict – often with unnerving acuity and foresight – the experience of individuals within systems that have become inadequate in dealing with the fallout of social breakdown. Of the four films presented here, Made in Britain, directed by the celebrated Alan Clarke, inevitably aroused the strongest controversy, with Tim Roth s astonishing portrayal of a nihilistic, racist teenage skinhead captured by Chris Menges innovative cinematography. Contentious, truthful and oftentimes harrowing, this hard-hitting quartet of films won both the Prix Italia and Prix Futura, fully justifying its controversial stance and determination to break new ground in television drama.
