Palm Springs, CA (PRWEB) June 7, 2007 -- "Keep on Moving: The UB40 Story", a one-hour film produced on-location in Britain by TV journalist Tom Jordan which reviews the legendary reggae group's 28 year history, will be presented to the public at a special screening Thursday, June 21, 7:30pm at The Camelot Theatre, 2300 E.

Jordan shot the documentary over the last two years on-location in Birmingham, England, UB40's "home turf," as they were finishing up production on their current album, "Who You Fighting For?" and as they were preparing for a concert at London's prestigious Royal Albert Hall. He traces their working-class Midlands England roots, and follows the band in-studio, during rehearsals, and in live performances to reveal their inner workings, their struggles, tragedies, victories and determination to spread their unique brand of reggae music around the world.
