Highly recommended… (#LFF)
White Riot
Rubika Shah’s film is a tremendous documentary about the exploits of Rock against Racism (RAR) which countered rising right-wing sentiments among many young people in the 1970s in Britain.
Featuring interviews with all the main protagonists – including the men and women who created RAR and The Clash and Tom Robinson, it’s a lovingly crafted film about the backlash against the National Front party and racism during the late 1970s, when it looked like right-wing racism might make an electoral breakthrough and some musical figures – shockingly even David Bowie – expressed support for fascism and racism (read repatriation of non-white people from Britain). Well worth watching and ends with the sentiment – the battle is far from over.
More to follow on this soon.

The Sky is Pink
Directed by Shonali Bose and starring Farhan Akhtar and Priyanka Chopra, this is a near pitch perfect drama about love, loss and families tested time and time again.
It’s not as grim as that sounds – far from it – one of the most impressive things about Bose’s film is its tone.
