Featured Comments/Tips
Babylon is a 70s joint: natural, uneven and a trip. Filmed in 1980, you'#39;ll get so much immigrant reggae, Brixton immorality and English accent that you'#39;ll float out of the cinema on your contact high. (The film also addresses racism in England head-on and would make a nice companion piece with White Riot, the documentary about reggae bands banding together to combat the rise of the fascist National Front.)
