Synopsis

Confronted with racism and attacked by an audience seeded with neo-Nazi sympathizers, Crack of Dawn survived it all and made history by way of a recording contract with Columbia Records in 1975. Crossing over the racial boundaries, they paved the way for the future of Canadian R&B and reggae musicians.
