Rubika Shah's vital prize-winning documentary, expanded from her 2017 short film of the same name, explores how 70s London protest movement Rock Against Racism (RAR) confronted British fascists head-on.
Film
Les Misérables (15)
Inspired by the 2005 Paris riots, director Ladj Ly's Oscar-nominated film is a topical insight into the tensions between neighbourhood residents and police. Note: This is a brand new film and not the Victor Hugo classic/ 2012 Russell Crowe musical!
