Ahead of our Boiler Room Southall broadcast , we're airing "Young Rebels - The Story of the Southall Youth Movement". This essential documentary film charts the experiences and responses of young people growing up in Southall in the 1970s and 1980s: and the racial attacks and discrimination facing them and their communities.

The film captures the activism and leadership of young people, particularly of Southall Youth Movement, covers major historical events in Southall including the racist murder of Sikh teenager Gurdeep Chagger in 1976, the murder of Blair Peach in demonstrations against the racist National Front in April 1979 and the burning of The Hambrough Tavern in 1981 through interviews with key local and national protagonists and archive TV footage of events.

Absolutely essential viewing to comprehend the importance of Southall as a site of anti-racist solidarity against institutional British racism.
