Isaac Julien’s groundbreaking inner-city murder mystery explores London subcultures of the late 1970s. Pirate radio hosts Caz and Chris decide to investigate the death of their friend, who was killed while cruising in a local park. In doing so, they must navigate suspicion from the police and bigotry in their own community.  With characters and soundtracks oscillating between ‘70s soul pirate radio, dancehall culture, National Front skirmishes and the Queen’s Silver Jubilee, Julien’s debut feature exploring contemporary British identity has lost none of its power or resonance.
