An excellent brief documentary about a heroic grassroots political movement whose importance reveals itself more clearly in retrospect with every year that passes.

There’s little nostalgia from the fresh interviews collected here, and plenty of fire in the vintage ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is White Riot about? Toggle content

In the late 1970s, Britain was torn apart by racism and xenophobia. The National Front, a far-right party, was on the rise, and even respected musicians like Eric Clapton were making racist statements. But then, a group of young people decided to fight back. They formed Rock Against Racism, a movement that used music to spread a message of unity and equality. With the help of bands like The Clash and Steel Pulse, RAR quickly grew into a powerful force, inspiring thousands of young people to stand up against racism and discrimination. White Riot is the story of this movement, a moment in time when music changed the world and a generation challenged the status quo. It's a tale of rebellion, courage, and the power of music to bring people together.
