Back by popular demand: a second screening of the film Rockers at Metal Liverpool on Thursday 26 September. Come watch and hear an all-star soundtrack through our Engine Room speakers at Edge Hill station.

Hosted at Metal Liverpool, Black Girl Watching Film Club in collaboration with LADFN presents a screening of Rockers (1978) with snacks and refreshments, 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. So come along, have some bun and cheese and share your thoughts.

Running order:

6:30pm: Doors open and refreshments are served
7:15pm: Rockers begins (Runtime 1 hour 40 minutes)
9:00pm: Post-screening discussion
