The story

White Riot documents the formation of Rock Against Racism, a grassroots campaign founded in 1976 in response to racism and the rise of far-right political groups in Britain. Through archival footage, animation and interviews with musicians, organisers and journalists, the film examines how concerts, fanzines and demonstrations were organised to oppose racism and fascism. The narrative culminates in the Rock Against Racism carnival held in Victoria Park, London, in April 1978, which featured performances by The Clash, Steel Pulse, Tom Robinson Band and X-Ray Spex.
