I saw this film in the 80s and it was so accurately portrayed some of the things young black men and women were and still are experiencing. Ultimately it dealt with the lead female character finding out who she really is. It was also about two people who had a certain expectation of each other but they couldn't meet in the middle until a life changing event took place. It's an excellent piece of work and we need more like this.

Excellent Service from the sender, it came quickly and the film itself is a classic. It's a shame we don't have more of these from this era. I was a youngster in the eighties, but it brought back so many memories for me. The film shows first generation British blacks trying to find themselves, not quite west indian, not quite british enough.

I saw this on tv when it was aired in the 80's, when seeing black people on tv was still rare! I ran to purchase the dvd as soon as it was released.
This film along with Babylon and other titles told it like it was in the 80's for a black person growing up in a Thatcherism state. This film is very powerful and forfilling definatley worth every penny!
