Reclaim the Streets' march in solidarity with the sacked Liverpool Dockers in 1997. The moment the militant London eco movement met the older culture of unions and socialism. The clash of musics and visual culture observed. (Full video 28 mins) This excerpt cuts the first 12 or so minutes of preparation in Kennington Park - lots of shots of union banners and music...
No commentary.
" Whilst obviously not in the style of 'proper' documentaries on the one hand or agit-prop on the other they are actually very engaging. These videos do have a style of their own which I like: made with a curious and informed eye that moves through events recording significant details and signs of intelligent, trouble-making life. It's about making an engaged, non-dogmatic record - and very much about visual culture too."
