How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sweeping portrait of young people finding community and rebellion through ska and two-tone music in 1980s England, where the music becomes both an escape and a political statement amid social upheaval. The series balances intimate family drama with the infectious energy of a cultural movement that briefly united working-class youth across racial lines.
