In the 1970s and 80s, Britain was rife with racial tension. Out of this climate grew a subgenre of reggae known as Lovers Rock, which would achieve global popularity through artists like UB40 and Maxi Priest. With live performance, interviews, and archival footage, the film revisits a little-known era of British cultural, music, and political history.
