A film about people near to where I live - the landscape link is that the area is near to London's historic docks and so has been a gateway community to waves of immigrants. Also, some immigrant communities who are recent arrivals elsewhere in the UK are well established here as they arrived as merchant seamen and shared lives here with time at sea. This would include those from Somaliland in particular. It also included the author Joseph Conrad(Pole) who lived in a hostel on Brunswick Street .
As a consequence the area has been threatened by xenophobia from elsewhere and various Fascist or Nazi organisations have attempted to destroy community cohesion. They invariably fail. The film is 30 inutes long
