Born In-A Babylon

Born in Jamaica in 1932 among the "black" proletariat, the Rastafari cult which considers the Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie a god, was at the time the expression of African identity faced with colonial power, stigmatized as it was under the name "Babylon". In the 70s, the movement was revived in Great Britain by the children of the first wave of Caribbean immigrants in reaction to the alienation and the racism they endured in "Babylon". Today, the "rastas" are a component in their own right of British society. This film is a portrait of this community as seen through several generations living in London today.
