Death of England: Face to Face

2021 · 78 min

A taut, talk-heavy lockdown chamber piece that simmers with racial and national grievance until it boils over into raw confrontation.

Overview
Britain is locked down. Michael and Delroy are dealing with issues closer to home. During an explosive afternoon in Delroy's flat, they are forced to confront their relationship with their country – and with each other. This was an original film for TV, rather than a filmed stage play.
