So, the industry was not built with these voices in mind and so communities had to kind of build their own ecosystem and when something is built outside of the system, the system often struggles to value it."

This is a great documentary film about how the influence of the Windrush Generation and the first wave of their children essentially gave birth to this entire culture of reggae and home/street soundsystems that evolved into a rich, beautiful and thoroughly inextricable part of Modern British Culture. Interviews and archive stuff cut with dramatic sections especially filmed.
Sadly, I was born twenty years too late!
At least I can still buy the records.https://filmsandfestivals.britishcouncil.org/projects/rudeboy-the-story-of-trojan-records
