Description

Presented in partnership with Iowa City Pride and the University of Iowa

"A life-giving pulse of energy." —Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

"Smart, compassionate, angry, and true."—Nic Austin, The Queer Queue

A convincing picture of late 70s London, youth culture meets identity politics in this part-thriller, part-gay love story set days before the Queen's Silver Jubilee celebrations. The hedonistic world of pirate DJs Chris and Caz is shattered when a close friend is killed while cruising in the local park. The Black community suspect the National Front, but the police have other ideas.
