The film revisits the ‘Rock Against Racism’ movement of the late 70s, noting its influence on future waves of radical artists and political activists and the late 50s organizing of the ‘The Stars Campaign For Inter-Racial Friendship’ by British jazz musicians and entertainers in the wake of the 1958 Notting Hill riots. It features many renowned musicians, writers, commentators and activists including original members of Steel Pulse, Aswad, and The Sex Pistols. The film finishes with a focus on both grime music and the historic role played by Black musicians in British popular music.
