The Whitsun weekend fights between the Mod and Rockers in 1964 have become part of the identity of coastal towns and cities such as Southend, Margate and Brighton. At the time, local residents and the media met the coming together of these subcultures with anger, fear and even pity.

Focusing specifically upon Brighton, The Wild Ones? features accounts from those who were actually there, asking them about the events of the midsixties, their opinions of the press reports and what they think about the legacy created by the riots.

Short film/documentary made for part of a Masters course at the University of Sussex.

By Jessica Ainlay, Claire Chester, Jo Haslam & Matthew Homer 2007.
