Critics consensus

“Raw and energetic like the music that inspired the 1970s political movement, White Riot offers invaluable insight into how music can change the world -- and how Rock Against Racism still resonates.”

Alexandra Heller-Nicholas

RTABC Radio (Australia)Mar 24, 2021

White Riot is a wild ride, a timely but never preachy reminder that Black lives mattering is not a new fight for those in the music industry.

David Stratton

RTThe AustralianMar 20, 2021

The film is a reminder as to how deeply entrenched are the roots of fascism, and not only in Britain.

P

Paul Byrnes

RTSydney Morning HeraldMar 18, 2021

The film is highly entertaining, suitably chaotic and unpredictable, but with a clear purpose -- to show that RAR made a difference.

C

Cris Kennedy

RTThe Canberra Times (Australia)Aug 17, 2022

The music of the film is the music of this movement, and Red Saunders managed to draw around his idea artists of like mind.
