Release Notes
-----------------------------------------
In August 1976, Eric Clapton told an audience in Birmingham
he agreed with Enoch Powell that immigrants should be sent
home, using the National Front slogan "Keep Britain White".
The angry, punk-inspired, creative left rallied virtually
overnight and Rock Against Racism became a rank-and-file
cultural movement, in step with the Anti-Nazi League. This
sober, self-effacing documentary, assembled from scant but
valuable gig and protest footage, is frugally animated from
the cut-and-paste pages of fanzine Temporary Hoarding. Warm
testimony comes from founders including ursine photographer
Red Saunders, terrier-like typesetter Roger Huddle and
office manager "Irate" Kate Webb ("I found a gang I'd like
to join"), proving that punk wasn't just about spitting.
The movie climaxes at the ANL/RAR march and carnival in
Victoria Park, with 100,000 attending, Tom Robinson
headlining ("black, white, together, tonight!"), and
Birmingham reggae band Steel Pulse wearing Klan hoods.
The movement undoubtedly helped the defeat of the National
Front who were defeated at the 1979 general election, but,
as a caption vouchsafes: "The fight is far from over".
