High On Hope
How dance music in 1980's Britain went from an underground scene to the mass youth cult across the world.
The acid house parties in the disused mills and warehouses of recession hit Margret Thacher's Britain were a reaction to mass unemployment and a government that wanted to appear tough on law and order.
After 18 unbroken months the parties in the north of England had grown to over 10,000 people each week but reacting to the moral outrage of the right wing press the authorities smashed the parties and their organisers and in one night made the largest mass arrest in British post war history.
With prophetic relevance to the war on terror, this is the story of what happens when a government stops at nothing to wipe out what it sees as a threat to the nations stability.
