Headfirst Editor's Pick
"The Clash vs. Eric Clapton? Steel Pulse vs. the National Front? Rock Against Racism was the definitive clash of the 70s, and White Riot is the doc you need to remember it all over again. DJ Krust and Grove will bring it to life with a panel discussion after the screening."

White Riot - Dir. Rubika Shah|80 mins|UK|2019
Everyday Integration in collaboration with Bristol Love Music Hate Racism is pleased to invite you to a screening of 'White Riot'. Rubika Shah’s award-winning and energising film charts a vital national protest movement. Rock Against Racism (RAR) was formed in 1976, prompted by ‘music’s biggest colonialist’, Eric Clapton, and his support of racist MP Enoch Powell.
White Riot blends fresh interviews with archive footage to document the hostile environment of anti-immigrant hysteria and National Front marches of Britain in the late 1970s. As neo-Nazis recruited the nation’s youth, RAR’s multicultural punk and reggae gigs provided rallying points for resistance. As co-founder Red Saunders explains: ‘We peeled away the Union Jack to reveal the swastika’. The campaign grew from Hoxton fanzine roots to 1978’s huge antifascist carnival in Victoria Park, featuring X-Ray Spex, Steel Pulse and of course The Clash, whose rock star charisma and gale-force conviction took RAR’s message to the masses. A must see!
