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.
Built around the earliest, until now unseen, footage of the Clash in concert, filmed by Julien Temple as they opened the infamous Roxy club in a dilapidated Covent Garden on January 1st 1977, this show takes us on a time-travelling trip back to that strange planet that was Great Britain in the late 1970s and the moment when punk emerged into the mainstream consciousness. Featuring the voices of Joe Strummer and the Clash from the time, and intercutting the raw and visceral footage of this iconic show, with telling moments from the BBC's New Year's Eve, Hogmanay and New Year's Day schedules of nearly 40 years ago, it celebrates that great enduring British custom of getting together, en masse and often substantially the worse for wear, to usher in the New Year.

Сын британского дипломата, Джо Страммер (настоящее имя — Джон Грэм Мэллор) родился в турецком городе Анкара 21 августа 1952 года.
