Fly a Flag for Poplar

Liberation Films
1974 United Kingdom 78 minutes English

“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)
