Franco Rosso's incendiary “Babylon” follows a young dancehall DJ (Brinsley Forde, frontman of landmark British reggae group Aswad) in South London as he pursues his musical ambitions, battling fiercely against the racism and xenophobia of employers, neighbors, police, and the National Front. Fearless, unsentimental, yet tempered by the hazy bliss of a blistering reggae and lovers rock soundtrack.
