105' - 1991 - Drama - Dialogue: English
Wherever you are, being young, black, homosexual and poor isn't exactly an easy situation to live with. But in England, this situation is nearly a total nightmare, in a country where violence is on the rise, where the poor are excluded, where racism and discrimination are rampant. The year is 1977, and the jubilee of Queen Elizabeth is being celebrated. Chris and Caz are old friends. Chris is gay, Caz isn't but the two men follow their dream: to have their own radio station where they can finally play soul, the music they love. lf being homosexual doesn't prevent professional opportunities, the color of one's skin will.
