English SYNOPSIS:
The final chapter of a famous East London haunt and the brainchild of successful club owner/promoter Linford “Fox” Wilson. Fox’s world tailspins, as his iconic “LA bar”—a staple for the Caribbean community, a home of Reggae music, and a hub for the Windrush generation—is compulsory purchased by the council, forcing him and his patrons out, leaving his life in disarray. We witness a community rise up against the onrushing tide of gentrification that threatens to tear them apart, culminating in a final “dance” that will be remembered for the ages.
