Lover's Rock [Drama On 3]

By Rex Obano

It is Brixton 1981 and the British brand of reggae, 'Lover's Rock' reverberates from Blues parties. The legacy of the New Cross Fire, in which 13 young people died, spurs young black pacifist Ben into activism. He must grapple with both his politics and his sexuality to come to terms with his own identity. Both he and Monroe, aspiring producer of Lover's Rock, find themselves at the sharp end of the Riots.
