The fascinating film charts the inside story behind the rise and fall of the illegal late 80s acid house scene in Blackburn, via interviews with the core party organisers and footage from some of the legendary raves, which attracted tens of thousands each weekend in 1990 and 1991.
Spurning the ‘suited superstar DJs’ and the ‘people who carved careers, adulation and financial muscle out of the acid house revolution’ the film instead focuses on the largely anonymous individuals who helped create the scene, most of whom ended up prison for their efforts.
