Young Soul Rebels

Part of Black History Month 2024

A landmark for Black and Queer British film, Isaac Julien’s iconic, beautifully crafted 1991 period piece has been newly remastered by the BFI.

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.

'This film still has a life-giving pulse of energy' - Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
