Young Soul Rebels

United Kingdom, 1991. 105 mins. Strand Rel.

The year is 1977, and while some people are busy getting ready to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee, others have more important things on their minds. Punks and Teds, National Front and Natty Dreads are fighting in the streets, and the authorities seem more interested in harassing the victim's friends than in solving the crime. A riveting look at the forces of race, class and sex that reshaped the U.K. just before the Thatcher years.
