Movie Info

'Rudeboy: The Story Of Trojan Records' - a superb visual and musical account of the label's history that through a combination of archive footage, interviews and drama, explores the power of music to break down cultural barriers and change lives and the eventual birth of a modern multicultural society. At the heart of this cultural revolution, which first unfolded in the UK's council estates and dancefloors during the late 60's and early 70's, was of course Trojan, which provided the musical soundtrack that inspired and influenced a new generation of British youth.
