Foam

Details

1973, a public lavatory. Nicky shaves his head, watched by an older man. Publicly, Nicky is a skinhead. And a Neo-Nazi. But right now, in this place, that doesn't matter. He's not the first man Nicky meets in a public toilet, and he won't be the last...Spanning twenty years and inspired by a true story, Foam examines the nature of identity and the consequences of right-wing extremist ideology against the backdrop of London's skinhead and gay scenes of the 1970s and 1980s. With right-wing extremism again on the rise, Foam confronts the flashpoint where the terrifyingly personal and the violently political collide. World Premiere
