Midvale Drive-In: White Riot

Midvale Drive-In: White Riot

Presented by Utah Film Center at Behind the Belgian Waffle & Omelet Inn

Rubika Shah’s energizing film charts a vital national protest movement. Rock Against Racism (RAR) was formed in 1976, prompted by ‘music’s biggest colonialist’ Eric Clapton and his support of racist MP Enoch Powell. As neo-Nazis recruited the nation’s youth, RAR’s multicultural punk and reggae gigs provided rallying points for resistance. As founder Red Saunders explains: ‘We peeled away the Union Jack to reveal the swastika’. The campaign grew from Hoxton fanzine roots to 1978’s huge antifascist carnival in Victoria Park, featuring X-Ray Spex, Steel Pulse, and of course The Clash, whose rock-star charisma and gale-force conviction took RAR’s message to the masses. – Hot Docs
