Rocksteady to both a visual and musical documentary of the big shots of the English 2-Tone movement of the late 1970s that has the exhaustive, high-energy performances exploding onto stage. Jump, shout, twist and crawl and dance to the tunes of Ska and its anthems of its rough riders and three-minute heroes captivated in the moment of a generation of England's concrete jungles and razor blade alleys. No longer on your radio but now on stage, together, with the likes of Madness, The Specials and The Beat et al, this concert footage of an era is a must-see, rare and fascinating look into a once vibrant youth culture of working-class England and its musical dance craze.

The Specials don’t just write memorable songs - they soundtrack moments in history. This film explores how the band’s music was influenced by social, economic, and political events and how they have continued to shape contemporary music and popular culture internationally, with their message of unity and harmony in the face of ongoing political and social challenges.

The student-taunting Specials perform at the Colchester Institute in 1979, playing hits such as Rat Race, Too Much Too Young and Gangsters, throwing tambourines at the bouncers and indulging in a little moon-stomping during a stage invasion.

Adrian Thrills investigates a new and exhilarating musical blend which is taking the country by storm. 2-tone is a unique mix of music, fusing together reggae, rock, soul, ska, blue beat and punk. With its home in Coventry and its roots in reggae, it derives its name and identity from the co-existence of its black and white members.

Les Pogues jouant le jour de la Saint-Patrick dans le Town and Country de Londres servent à rappeler aux fans pourquoi nous aimions le groupe et peut-être pourquoi leur rupture était inévitable. Un Shane MacGowan bien arrosé marmonne et crie à travers la plupart de leurs tubes jusqu'à ce moment-là. Bien sûr, les vrais fans aiment les marmonnements et les cris. Beaucoup d'énergie, d'excellents invités - The Specials, la regrettée Kirstie MacColl et surtout le regretté Joe Strummer - qui non seulement monte sur scène pour une interprétation émouvante de London Calling, mais sert en quelque sorte d'hôte pour la soirée .

The English ska band, The Specials, perform live in the RTBF studio in Brussels, Belgium.

In a village in a country far away, the community live well and support each other. But when civil war breaks out this idyll of existence is devastated as the community is broken and homes destroyed. We follow the fortunes of a father, mother and their three teenage children – Leto, Mati and Tana – who face this brutal reality together. They are confronted with impossible choices in order to survive. They must leave their homeland and undertake a perilous journey to safer shores. Along the way they will be separated from each other and have to persevere alone.
