Social realism has shown us to ourselves, pushing the boundaries in the effort to put the expensive of real britons on the screen, and shopping our idea of what british cinema can be. Social realism is a genre of film that focuses on topical issues alive in a modern society which is represented by different ideologies. Themes such as money drugs, prostitution and sex are usually in modern contempory social realism films as well as class, religion and political views.
An example of a film that shows social realism is 'this is england' a film about UK skin heads in the 80's. it shows what skin heads were like, what they believed in and what they did, like hating immigrants, beating them up, and drinking alcohol and doing drugs. It is set in the UK where the skin heads originated and it shows other social groups and styles that were around in the UK in the 80's like punks.
