England Expects(2004)

England Expects is a British drama following Ray Knight, a former football hooligan turned security guard at a Canary Wharf trading firm, who struggles to maintain respectability as a family man. When racial tensions flare over council housing allocation, Ray's buried past resurfaces. His alcoholic ex-wife Sadie and troubled teenage daughter Nikki both need rehousing, but bureaucratic failures and Nikki's heroin addiction push Ray toward the edge. Desperate and angry, he reconnects with his old friend Larry Knowles and slides back into far-right extremism. The film examines how economic desperation and social alienation can radicalize even those trying to escape their violent pasts, set against the stark contrast between London's gleaming financial district and its struggling communities below.
