This is how we got here. As I was born in 1970, growing up with the riots.
It's fantastic film making, documentary photography- which I ignored, but she provides a historical legacy. Narrating her reasons with the old 35mm negatives, perforated. Before we had phones.
In The Young Ones era, SoHo - the sex work capital of the UK, seedy back then, now a boho destination. Private shops, can you imagine publishing photos in real time of punters, (oh wait - that happens) Well paced, the, (quite long) film moves through as we see an increasing disillusioned Tish. Turning the camera on herself as she gives birth. Doing less photography, and becoming the subject.
Was she a photographer or a director, as we see less photos later on, of her. You see life through a lens.
We all have videos and photos of childhood, Tish sees a new world, racially diverse. Dismissing bias. My parents used to write on the back of pictures.
Moving into modern times, we see redevelopment. Which happened after WW2 as we rebuilt. It happened before, it will happen again. Civilisations only last so long, houses only stand for so long.
Tower blocks are demolished, slums flattened. Gentrification and Capitalisation - we have not learnt any lessons.
