Don Letts

Don's career path has been fascinating, unpredictable and original - running a trend-beating London clothing store in the mid-70s; becoming THE unofficial film chronicler of the capital's early punk and reggae scenes; being a member of Big Audio Dynamite; achieving recognition as the UK's leading counter-cultural film-maker. The man himself talks about his life, msuic and films.
