With fascism on the rise and far right political parties gaining strength in the wake of anti-immigration hysteria and National Front marches, a team of like-minded musical creatives come together, calling for rock music to be a force against racism. As their message spreads virally and with support coming from the likes of The Clash and Steel Pulse, Rock Against Racism (RAR) is born. However, their enemies begin to fight back, committing acts of violence against RAR in an attempt to further divide a deeply fractured nation.

Inspired by musical documentaries like Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck and Fire in Babylon, Shah’s impressive film shines a light on a moment in time when music changed the world and when a generation armed only with punk and fearless conviction challenged the status quo.

“A highly engaging and suddenly very relevant documentary.” - Demetrios Matheou, Screen International
