Dennis Bovell and others interviewed too. Brit history that some non- Brits might not know included too- Notting Hill Riots, Enoch Powell ugliness and how it all related to Letts . Young white punk future stars hanging at Letts place after Roxy shows footage. Later , Letts in NYC

Letts was hired by Chris Blackwell of Island to direct "Good to Go" the film intended to make dc go-go a worldwide genre, but then Letts was fired halfway into it. That was good for Letts long term as the film was a disaster.

Letts did a Sun Ra doc and a Gil Scott-Heron one

The Letts bio doc is so good. Love the footage of Strummer/Jones making the second BAD album.
