"Babylon" is a film from the 1980s that follows "Blue" and his "rasta crew" as they get close to a sound clash competition with a rival crew. Its Based in London, Blue is a calm likable character and throughout the film is trying to stop his mates from getting into fights even after alot of racial abuse, until he gets fired from his job as a car mechanic, there hangout gets broken into and there sound system smashed up, and he gets beaten down by plain clothed police man. After this he becomes increasingly angered and alienated and starts fighting back. This film addresses racism violence and the roots reggae lifestyle in London in the 1980s.

"Babylon" Film Restoration

Whilst watching the credits I stumbled across a extras section on the DVD showing the restoration from the original 1980s film to the 2008 version which has had a complete digital restoration . This was really interesting and I was amazed by the fact that it is possible to get from such poor quality to the much more detailed, better coloured quality we can watch now. In the original you can hardly make out a head and the colour of some one jacket to being able to tell the colour of their eyes! It is done by "digitising the original film at high resolution, then dirt, dust and damaged sections were digitally removed frame by frame to create an unblemished digital version." This was taken from the DVD, I am trying to find the video from the extras.
