Generation Revolution
Synopsis
The London Black Revolutionaries, or ‘Black Revs’, have a predilection for dramatic, raucous, direct action. 'R Movement' challenge the idea of the ‘Staid and Serious’ political activist and 'The Black Dissidents' are a new organisation intent on furthering the fight against oppression along the lines of race, class and gender.
A chronicle of the evolution of characters as they experience personal and political awakenings, breakthroughs and, at times, disillusionment. A unique and original glimpse into the rewarding but difficult path that must be trodden in the struggle for personal, social and political liberation.
