Babylon
Directed by Franco Rosso, written by Franco Rosso and Martin Stellman (Quadrophenia), and shot by two-time Academy Award winner Chris Menges (The Killing Fields), Babylon is an incendiary portrait of racial tension and police brutality set in Brixton, London, and partly filmed on location in Deptford.
The film, anchored by Dennis Bovell’s propulsive score, is partly based on Bovell’s false imprisonment for running a Jamaican sound system, Sufferer’s Hi Fi, in the mid-70s.
A viewing linked up through Fairshare Unity sound system.
A look at sound system culture of the time and area.
