POLICY WIRE — London, United Kingdom — A new documentary explores the transformation of an everyday man into a key figure within a right-wing patriot group, shedding light on how concerns about immigration can spiral into dangerous activism.
The film, titled *England ’Til I Die*, follows Liam, a father and utility manager from Crowborough, East Sussex, as he becomes deeply involved in anti-immigration protests. The story begins with a mass demonstration in Dover, where over 150 masked men blocked access to the ferry port, chanting slogans like “Stop the boats” and England ’til I die.

Director Jamie Roberts, known for his earlier work on far-right groups, highlights how the current movement is more mainstream than it was a decade ago. He notes that while some participants are not the stereotypical skinheads of the past, their influence is growing, fueled by social media algorithms and a sense of purpose among those feeling marginalized.
Roberts also discusses the role of online platforms in amplifying extreme views, including AI-generated content that spreads misinformation. As the film unfolds, it captures the shift from local grievances to national political identity, showing how a single individual can become part of a larger, more organized network.
