Summary
Raw and smoldering, BABYLONt follows a young dancehall DJ in South London as he pursues his musical ambitions, battling fiercely against the racism and xenophobia of employers, neighbors, police, and the National Front. BABYLON is fearless and unsentimental, yet tempered by the hazy bliss of the dancehall set to a blistering reggae and rock soundtrack. Official Selection at the **Cannes Film Festival** and **Toronto International Film Festival**. *"BABYLON is rich, rough and real. And like the street life of the young black Londoners it portrays, it's threatening, touching, violent and funny." - **Variety***
