THE STREET
Focusing on one East London street over a four-year period - a film about love and loss, a community unravelled by gentrification, and the nation’s slide into Brexit.
With the skyscrapers of the City glinting close by, the area surrounding Hoxton Street has been transformed by luxury developments and sky-high property prices.
As media start-ups and corporate property developers move in, the traditional working-class inhabitants of this East London street feel a deepening social divide.
Set against the backdrop of rapid gentrification, years of austerity and the eruption of Brexit, Zed Nelson’s four-year epic delivers a comic, tragic and deeply moving portrait of not just a street, but a nation on the cusp of enormous change.
