Britain, late-1970s. Punk is exploding. The country is deeply divided over immigration. The National Front, a far-right and fascist political party, is gaining strength as politicians like Enoch Powell push a xenophobic agenda. Outraged by a racist speech from Eric Clapton, music photographer Red Saunders writes a letter to the music press, calling for rock to be a force against racism. NME, Melody Maker, and Sounds all publish the letter.

Flooded with responses, Red discovers many share his views. Teaming up with like-minded creatives Roger Huddle, Kate Webb, Syd Shelton and Australian graphic designer Ruth Gregory, the team bands together to create Rock Against Racism (RAR) and a fanzine, Temporary Hoarding. Speaking directly to the youth, Temporary Hoarding reports stories and issues that the mainstream British media ignores, like immigration, the Catholic side of the Northern Ireland conflict, and the police’s controversial “suspected persons” (sus) powers. They give a voice to the voiceless.

The National Front begins to strike back, committing acts of violence against RAR supporters and petrol-bombing their HQ. Despite this, RAR spreads virally across the UK and into Europe, becoming a grassroots youth movement. The Clash, Steel Pulse, Alien Kulture, Poly Styrene, Sham 69, Gang of Four, and other top bands of the day jump on board.

White Riot is a moment in time when music changed the world. When a generation challenged the status quo. It’s Woodstock meets the March on Washington, punk-style and in London. BFI winner, Documentary. Directed by Rubika Shah.

“An exquisite historical document. The film is where the American concert documentary genre begins."

Filmed at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, directed by world-renowned photographer Bert Stern, the doc features intimate performances by an all-star line-up of musical legends including Louis Armstrong, Dinah Washington, Thelonious Monk, Anita O'Day (with a very famous live version of Sweet Georgia Brown), Mahalia Jackson, Gerry Mulligan, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Giuffre, Bob Brookmeyer, Jim Hall, Henry Grimes, Roy Haynes, Sonny Stitt, Sal Salvado, George Shearing, Art Farmer, Big Maybelle, Chico Hamilton, Trummy Young, Danny Barcelona, and Jack Teagarden.

The film has been beautifully and extensively restored in 4K from the best surviving vault elements by IndieCollect.

More than a documentary, it’s “an impression: a compilation of shots and scenes that convey an atmosphere of leisure and enjoyment against the background of jazz.”

We are proud to showcase the return of a Darkside Cinema favorite, in honor of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And when you pay via our link, you will have the right to stream the film forever; it's not a rental with limited time to watch like our other virtual titles.

"The A to Z of the Notorious RBG" - This documentary is an intimate portrait of an unlikely rock star: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The filmmakers explore the ways her early legal battles changed the world for women.

At the age of 85, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had developed a lengthy legal legacy while becoming an unexpected pop culture icon. But the unique personal journey of her rise to the nation's highest court was largely unknown, even to some of her biggest fans—until this film. A wildly popular film, and a crowd pleaser.

Provided with the support of Magnolia Films. Your purchase supports the Darkside and also the ACLU Women's Rights Project, co-founded by Justice Ginsburg in 1972.

$6.99 buys you the right to stream/download the film in perpetuity via VHX—similar to buying a film on iTunes/Amazon instead of renting it.

Includes access to the hour-long Q&A with RBG directors Betsy West and Julie Cohen, moderated by the New York Times’ Melena Ryzik.
