DIVIDE AND RULE – NEVER

Original British 16 inch x 23 inch Poster for the 1978 Newsreel Collective Documentary about racismDIVIDE AND RULE – NEVER featuring music from Tom Robinson, Enchanters, Steel Pulse and Clash.

This punk-infused documentary by the Newsreel Collective invites young working class Londoners to discuss their experiences of racism. First and second generation Black and Asian immigrants, as well as ex-National Front members, paint a detailed picture of discrimination in 1970s Britain. The film uses lo-fi animation, archive footage and a pulsating soundtrack to compare racial inequality in London to Britain’s colonial ‘divide and rule’ policy, European fascism and the rise of Nazi Germany.

The film was distributed by The Other Cinema which was set up in 1970 as a non-profit-making, independent film distribution company in London.

The poster is in fine unfolded (rolled) condition
