Made in Britain is a 1982 television play directed by Alan Clarke, and written by David Leland, about a 16-year-old white power skinhead named Trevor (played by Tim Roth, in his television debut), and his constant confrontations with authority figures. It was originally broadcast on ITV as the fourth in an untitled series of four plays by Leland, all loosely based around the British educational system. As with many Alan Clarke works, the director attempts to depict English working-class life, realistically without moralising or complex plots. The play features strong language, violence, racism and an anti-establishment feeling. Cinematographer Chris Menges's use of the Steadicam contributed to the fluid and gritty atmosphere of the play.
