babylon
I had the pleasure of growing up within the black community within Brixton. Babylon takes you back to the times of the sound systems and shows the everyday struggle of the black man from the racial hated shown to black people, how hard it was to get a job being black and the ignorance and corruption of the police force towards black people all of this lead to the Brixton riots. This film is excellent!!!
