Hard-Fi Headline London Film Launch

Hard-Fi, Roll Deep and RAR legends are set to headline London’s “Who Shot The Sheriff?” film launch on Thursday 15 September at The Scala.

The film, Alan Miles’ Rock Against Racism documentary, is a co-production by Love Music Hate Racism, Amicus and Metropolis and also features live music from Sonic Boom Six, plus special surprise RAR star guests and DJ sets from Jerry Dammers (The Specials), Neville Staples (The Specials) and DJ Scratchy (The Clash’s tour DJ).

The film features interviews and unseen footage of artists from the Rock against Racism (RAR) movement of the 70s and the Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR) movement today including The Clash, The Libertines, The Specials, Ms Dynamite, Pete Doherty and Hard-Fi.

The LMHR website explains that: “the film tracks the rise of racism and the National Front in Britain during the 70s - and how a generation, black and white, fought back against the Nazi threat, and there's lots of rarely seen archive footage from the punk & RAR era - including the infamous 1978 Carnival in east London's Victoria Park where 100,000 marched to the show headlined by The Clash and Tom Robinson Band”

“As well as documenting a great political and musical movement, "Who Shot the Sheriff" links the struggle to stop the National Front in the 1970s with campaigns like Unite Against Fascism aiming to stop the likes of the fascist British National Party gaining ground in Britain today.”
