Babylon

In the gritty and unflinching 1980 British drama "Babylon," Franco Rosso captures the raw emotions and struggles of a young Jamaican man living in Brixton during the Thatcher era. The film follows Blue, a young reggae DJ, as he navigates his musical ambitions amidst racial tension, police brutality, and poverty. Shot entirely on location in South London, "Babylon" is an incendiary portrait of Black youth life in Britain's 1980s, anchored by the propulsive score of Dennis Bovell.
