New date: This event was due to take place on Thursday 8 August, we’re happy to announce its rescheduled date as this Thursday 15 August.

Hosted at Metal Liverpool, Black Girl Watching Film Club in collaboration with LADFN presents a screening of Rockers (1978) followed by a discussion about the film.

Legendary reggae artists play themselves in this exuberant tale of struggle and triumph. Leroy “Horsemouth” Wallace and Richard “Dirty Harry” Hall recruit a “Robin-Hood” band of friends to get even with some oppressive mafia types.

What began as a documentary about the reggae scene in the 1970s and turned into a feature length film, Rockers is a great lightning in a bottle film with a stellar cast of iconic Jamaican musicians. Not only is it a fantastic film with an amazing soundtrack but it also encapsulates this era of music in an extraordinary way. To celebrate Jamaican Independence Day, Black Girl Watching Film Club presents a screening of this film on Thursday 8 August with a post-screening discussion. Come along, have some bun and cheese and share your thoughts.
