Synopsis

Members of the Birdham Road Area Action Group interview a range of white working class residents about dilapidated and overcrowded council housing and discuss the arising issues with a council employee in Moulsecoomb-by-Sea. This is interspersed with experimental montages of gentrified areas contrasted with council housing, overlaid with a scripted conversation about neglectful councils. The film was facilitated by Su Braden as part of a Barefoot Video training production, shot during July, August and September 1984.
