Written and directed by William Stone and lensed by director of Photography Adam Pickford, THE FENCE is the story of an 18 year old working class lad who has his motorcycle stolen the day he buys it. He seeks the help of his scoundrel friends and notorious older brother to track it down before it’s gone forever.

The Fence does a remarkable job of capturing the specific social tensions of 1980s Britain through its authentic production design and gritty visual style. This type of period-accurate filmmaking serves as a vital cultural record of working-class history and local identity. I imagine that students researching the sociological impact of these films might benefit from a Humanities Assignment Help Service in Australia to better articulate the connection between cinema and social change. It is impressive how the film manages to feel both nostalgic and incredibly relevant to modern issues of community and division. Was much of the location scouting done in areas that had remained largely unchanged since the eighties to maintain that raw sense of realism?
