A nice write up in the Independent<\/a> on the 30th anniversary of the film Babylon<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Director Franco Rosso is on form as ever, with some nice comments about Jah Shaka’s cameo in the film. But it was this parting shot which got me most excited:<\/p>\n

A few films like Bullet Boy<\/em> and Kidulthood<\/em> have tried to document the London of grime, with mixed results. (Bullet Boy is my personal favourite of the two, and not just because it’s set in East London as opposed to Kidulthood’s west…).
