The powerful and inspiring true story of the controversial human rights campaigner whose provocative acts of civil diso bedience rocked the British establishment, revolutionised attitudes to homosexuality and exposed world tyrants. As social attitudes change and history vindicates Peter's stance on gay rights, his David versus Goliath battles gradually win him status as a national treasure. The film follows Peter as he embarks on his riskiest crusade yet by seeking to disrupt the FIFA World Cup in Moscow to draw attention to the persecution of LGBT+ people in Russia and Chechnya.
Великобритания конца 1970-х — это не только расцвет панк-сцены, но и подъем партии «Национальный фронт» и рост насилия против мигрантов. Для борьбы с ксенофобскими настроениями музыкальный фотограф Ред Саундерс с горсткой единомышленников создает движение «Рок против расизма». Несмотря на давление и угрозы, дело Саундерса растет и ширится — вскоре к нему присоединяются такие звезды эпохи, как The Clash, The Specials и Joy Division. Фильм о том, как музыка может быть реальной силой, меняющей общество, стал участником Берлинале и призером Лондонского кинофестиваля.
