“One of the greatest British films made” [Mojo]

“Must be seen” [N.M.E.]

“Rarely screened… unjustly ignored… Cult classic. Exceptional… when it next hits the big screen, don’t miss out…” [Reggae News]

Rarely seen on the big screen and boasting a fantastic opening sequence that will have you hooked from the go-get, this groundbreaking 1980 reggae drama centres around a West-London soundsystem fronted by Blue (played by BRINSLEY FORDE of the band ASWAD). In Thatcher’s England, Blue has to tackle issues of race and police brutality, along with worries about his two-timing girlfriend. There’s also an upcoming soundclash with a competing soundsystem run by JAH SHAKA. Life is spiralling towards a climax…

Co-written with MARTIN STALLMAN (Quadrophenia), director FRANCO ROSSO’s portrayal of Brixton and surrounds provides a highly authentic dramatisation of a unique culture set in a politically charged time and place. Add to that a soundtrack composed by dub-reggae legend DENNIS BOVELL, plus tracks by JOHNNY CLARKE, I ROY, ASWAD, YABBY U, and you have a cinematic experience that will bow the speakers.
