The significance of this film is the time it was made - 1980 and just before the Brixton and other riots. It shows the daily harassment of blacks was never far away. If you are looking for a lot of reggae being played you will be disappointed even though the story is about a forthcoming 'soundclash' between two rival sound systems. The film is more about life for young second generation West Indian youths with the lack of employment, the racism and poverty. It is a bit bleak but rings true. So, not a celebration of reggae music, much more social reality. Seemingly hard to get now, only this one on e-bay when I bought it secondhand!

The film was based around sound systems racism and roaming the streets. There didn't seem to be much of a story line or any twists or turns and at times found it confusing what was going on.

Watchable film in my opinion. I remember this screened on BBC Four about 10 years ago, which at the time i only heard of the movie. Yes it is dated, but still relevant to today. Unemployment, racism, sexism, immigration and poor police relations with the black community. Long overdue dvd release though.
