Synopsis

September 1958, in the aftermath of the worst racial disturbances Britain had seen in a generation, an organisation was born to combat the racism and violence that had erupted in the streets of Notting Hill. The Stars Campaign for Interracial Friendship (SCIF) was a group of musicians; actors; authors, journalists and television stars who used their celebrity to organise against racism and promote the new multicultural society. Like Rock Against Racism was to do some twenty years later and Love Music Hate Racism in the noughties, SCIF used music as a political tool to combat racism. Until now they have been forgotten, lost in history. This is their story.
