Synopsis

Through focusing on one family, the film is a dramatisation of the tensions that exist between first and second generation West Indian immigrants in the Notting Hill area of London, and how the younger generation see their parents as having rejected their black identity in favour of white English values. The younger son of the family becomes involved in collective black action owing to his lack of success in finding employment.

    Hard hitting

    01 December 2009
    This is a hard hitting, candid look at the lives of British-born black youths growing up in the 70’s. The protagonist Tony leads a life torn between his parent’s church going community and his brother’s black power group. This leads to tussles with the law and a struggle to find purpose in an incredibly challenging time.
