Part of the BBC 1 TV Programme in 1976, this black-and-white video captures young people from Wapping and Shadwell challenge a derogatory TV presenter who suggests that people need to ‘get out’ of the East End in order to improve their lives. Instead, they showcase how they have built their own community, transforming public spaces into football pitches and a community arts space. Through political comics, mockumentaries, poetry, and community films, the young East Londoners critique gentrification, development and the problems with the education system in the area. The video concludes with the vibrant E1 Festival, celebrating community spirit.
