Step Forward Youth

Synopsis
Interviews on race relations with teenage West Indians from Brixton and Notting Hill in which the London-born blacks describe their affinity with the West Indies and their hostility to the white man’s Britain. Other sequences show them in their everyday surroundings. The message of the film is that ethnic roots are stronger than merely legal ones.
