Funeral Parade is proud to present Young Soul Rebels, Isaac Julien’s queer cult classic about funk, punk, and coming of age in late ‘70s London.
The year is 1977, the Queen's Silver Jubilee is fast approaching, and DJs Chris (Valentine Nonyela) and Caz (Mo Sesay) are bringing the sounds of soul, disco, and funk to London’s airwaves with Soul Patrol, the pirate radio station they operate from an East End garage.
