About the Movie:

Sound system 'toaster' Blue and his Ital Lion crew are looking forward to a sound clash competition with rival outfit Jah Shaka. But as the event approaches, Blue's personal life begins to unravel. Fired from his job, he beings to suspect his girlfriend is cheating on him and then one night he is brutally beaten by plain-clothes policemen. Finally, when their lock-up garage is broken into and their sound system destroyed, he cannot take any more. Increasingly angered and alienated by what he perceives to be society's rejection of his race and his culture, Blue is compelled to respond by fighting fire with fire.

Directed by Franco Russo, co-written by Martin Stellman (Quadrophenia), and photographed by two-time Oscar winner Chris Menges (The Mission; The Killing Fields).

Fully restored and re-mastered to it's former glory!

@iluvkirikou : Thank you and I was the same until I finally found the actual site to buy the movie in NTSC (US Format) and able to get it up back online. It's such a damn good, one of the best I think, reggae movies ever! It has been hard to find for years! There is a copyright on it, but YT still let me post it thank Jah. Enjoy!
