It follows a trio of organisations as well as the young Londoners
that are part of them. The London Black Revolutionaries have a
predilection for dramatic, direct action; R Movement challenge the idea
of the “staid and serious” political activist; and the Black Dissidents
are a new group intent on furthering the fight against oppression along
the lines of race, class and gender. The film chronicles the evolution
of its characters as they experience personal and political awakenings,
breakthroughs, and—at times—disillusionment. Generation Revolution
offers a unique and original glimpse into the rewarding but difficult
path that must be trodden in the struggle for personal, social and
political liberation.
