“A gay-straight, black-white, punk-soul murder movie. A powerful dramatic thriller!”
The Montreal Gazette

“Brave and ambitious. Isaac Julien makes all the right moves.”
Time Out

“High voltage! Isaac Julien celebrates the energies of his hip young performers and he has just the camera moves and rhythms to do it.”
The Boston Globe

A visionary Black, Queer British film from director Isaac Julien (LOOKING FOR LANGSTON) returns to the screen — newly restored in 4K. In 1977, the Queen’s silver jubilee may be the event, but the party is at Soul Patrol, the pirate radio station run by friends Chris (Valentine Nonyela) and Caz (Mo Sesay) whose lives of hedonism come to an abrupt halt upon learning about the murder of their friend — a young, gay Black man. Who is responsible? The National Front or … Reggae, disco, funk, and punk fill the airwaves as the characters find love and thrills in this “outstanding erotic joyride.” Featuring music by Parliament-Funkadelic, X-Ray Spex, the Players Association, and more. Free Member Monday—free admission for all AFS members on December 18.
