Courage, music and resistance are words that describe the documentary film set in 1976. England is in flames. Fascism and Nazism, fuelled by the National Front, are increasingly more aggressive. Youth is divided too; even music becomes a symbol of political ideology. But punkers do not give up that easily. They establish RAR (Rock Against Racism), a political and activist movement that brings together musicians of different races and calls for changes in society. But the struggle against intolerance and repression is not over by far.

“White riot, I want to riot,
White riot, a riot of our own.”

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
