Offers contemporary context of Britain as a deeply divided society as reflected in film Analyses Britain's contested understandings of its past, present and future Examines the various ways recent mainstream films have approached the concept of nationhood Explores the ways in which the contest of ideologies always at work within media representations has played out post-2016 Focuses on historical and contemporary drama films, with each chapter offering detailed readings of either an individual film, or a pair of films British Cinema and a Divided Nation examines representations of the nation found within contemporary British cinema, against a backdrop of rising political tensions and deepening social divisions following the 'Brexit' referendum of June 2016. Exploring ways in which the contest of ideologies within media representations has played out post-2016, the book identifies divisions within society that have been given narrative shape and cultural form within recent British films. With case studies of major films such as Mary Queen of Scots, Peterloo, Darkest Hour, Sorry We Missed You and Downton Abbey, this book questions whether we are seeing the negotiation of a new relationship with the wider world, or simply a re-iteration of a long-standing British, or English, understanding of national identity.

Having to throw a lot of punches for protection was a way of life in the Navy Survival depended on how willing I was to stand up to a culture that left many unable to defend themselves. I did a lot of the heavy lifting for them. My experiences in the Navy taught me about not backing down and letting others walk over me. Of course, this comes at a price, mentally, physically and emotionally. I had to create ways to not only survive, but to prosper. The lessons learnt in the Navy certainly stayed with me through relationships and business and it came with good times and bad times. This book is about coming from nothing and ending up in a reasonably good place. I'm not quite at peace with myself yet; I'm a work in progress and I'm looking to turn the next page and see what awaits. Read this book and learn how I survived, what drove me and how I keep moving forward. The Clock Keeps Ticking. Tick, Tick, Tick.
