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.”

This film by Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa (A Gentle Creature, Donbass) is a Kafkaesque exploration of a totalitarian regime. It is suffused with an overwhelming sense of inevitability and laced with the director’s signature grotesque humour.
