The second summer of love, told by the people who threw the parties. Directed by Anna Davies for the BBC, 2006. 59 min
In 1989 thousands of young people danced at illegal acid house parties in fields and aircraft hangars around the M25. Promoters, newspaper editors and the bands who rose with the scene tell how it began after ten years of Thatcherism, and how it broke down social barriers.
Then the turn: tabloid headlines, cat-and-mouse games with the police and, by the end of the summer, gangsters moving in.
