Curiosidades

White Riot is a documentary film directed by Rubika Shah and produced by Ed Gibbs about the Rock Against Racism movement in late-1970s Britain. Using archival footage, photography and contemporary interviews, the film traces the campaign’s development from its founding in 1976 to the Rock Against Racism carnival held in London’s Victoria Park in 1978.

Production

The film was directed by Rubika Shah and produced by Ed Gibbs, who also co-wrote the screenplay. It combines archival materials—including press clippings, photographs and fanzines—with newly recorded interviews and animation to recreate the political and cultural climate of late-1970s Britain.

Shah and Gibbs conducted interviews with musicians and organisers associated with Rock Against Racism, as well as journalists and photographers who documented the movement. Shah has described the film as an attempt to explore how music and youth culture intersected with anti-racist activism in Britain.
