THE UNTOLD STORY OF LONDON’S STREET ART | FROM BRIXTON RIOTS TO CULTURAL RESISTANCE

Описание: In the 1980s, London was a city in crisis : unemployment was rising, racial tensions were exploding, police violence was widespread and an entire generation of young people felt invisible.
Out of abandoned buildings, industrial wastelands, and forgotten neighborhoods, something unexpected emerged: street art.
This documentary explores the untold story of London’s street art, from the Brixton riots to cultural resistance, from illegal tags to globally recognized artworks.It tells the story of young people from working-class and immigrant communities who, with nothing but spray paint and walls, reclaimed a city that refused to see them.
This is not just a story about graffiti. It’s a story about visibility, resistance, creativity, and identity.A story about how art becomes a language when no one is listening.
