As part of Leeds University Union Black History Month, Leeds No Borders are screening Babylon in the Pyramid theatre, downstairs in LUU.
This is a free event-donations will be collected on the night for the Dominica Disaster Relief Fund.
Directed by the late Franco Rosso, Babylon is a crucial film about sound system culture in the UK dealing with themes of racism and police violence.
”One of the greatest british films made” Mojo
This screening will feature an introduction by lifelong Chapeltown resident and community advocate Claude Hendrickson, who will talk about the history and significance of sound systems in Leeds.
