The UK -1988 - the birth of one of the most long-lasting cultures and musical genres since Rock 'n' Roll itself – Acid House. In two years it was to outgrow the underground clubs of London and see millions of Thatcher’s children dancing through the night and shouting ‘Mental’ at massive illegal warehouse parties and outdoor Raves, attended by tens of thousands, they called it ACID HOUSE
THEY CALL IT ACID has been a labour of love for Gordon Mason, who over the last 10 years has been gathering together the material for this documentary. Much of the original film archive was shot by Gordon in the late 1980s - this footage is unique. Since 1999 the film has been in production, totally self financed, over 80 interviews have been recorded and over 50,000 feet of Super 16mm film and 30 hours of High Definition Video shot.
