"Blue has a job as a garage hand but is fired after an altercation with his racist boss but his life is about to get worse when he gets beaten up by police, is falsely charged, and forced to go on the run, falling out with his girlfriend and finally stabbing a racist neighbour in anger and frustration. This movie is a slice of black British life and follows a group of young West Indians living in South London where they have to deal with racism, violence against black people, poverty and reggae "

" Babylon follows the story of David, a working class musician and black man in South East London. By day he works as a mechanic, at night David is a Mic controller at a local dance hall. The film centers around the racial divide of London in the 80's, the lack of opportunities available to black people and poverty. "
