In late 1970s Britain, the raw energy of punk rock confronts a society struggling with xenophobia and racism. After Eric Clapton's controversial remarks, photographer Red Saunders inspires a movement against discrimination. He joins forces with fellow artists and activists to establish Rock Against Racism (RAR). Utilizing their fanzine, Temporary Hoarding, they provide a platform for underrepresented voices and galvanize a youth-led campaign challenging prevailing attitudes and sparking a cultural shift.
