“A rarely seen film made collectively by and for the people of the working class district in the East End of London: the Borough of Poplar. It combines contemporary film of a community festival and its preparations with the history of the area through reminiscence, and the use of stills, and archival footage to provide a historical, social and political perspective.” (Keith Griffiths)
