00:23:26—
00:23:26—
00:23:54—
00:23:55—
00:23:55—
00:23:55share yourself with them yeah but we're talking about a subject a very specific subject you know
00:24:02I want to talk just just stick to I think it's relevant to the subject I mean we're talking
00:24:13about gentrification here and the changes you know how do you know the people that you're not
00:24:18talking to don't or aren't affected by the same things that you are I'm just hoping to discover
00:24:24that look just stop asking me okay I don't I don't really want to go much further with that I've
00:24:31given
00:24:32you as much of an answer as I want to give yeah but I think your depression is important to
00:24:37why
00:24:37you're doing this project Aisha you've never asked me this before and you're asking me now
00:24:41with a camera there that's okay
00:24:46I'm being honest with you now you're sick
00:24:50what are you doing just leave it I'm just trying to work out why you're trying to create
00:24:56this project I'm trying to get to know where you're at
00:25:01that it doesn't have anything to do with it it doesn't have anything to do with it okay
00:25:05I was looking for something I get my inspiration from the street that's it
00:25:09it clearly bothers you so I think it's important can we stop
00:25:22all right
00:25:25here
00:25:40you
00:25:50What's this project about, then?
00:25:53It's just about Brixton and how much it's changed.
00:25:57I've been away for a few years, and when I came back, it was just...
00:26:01I don't know, it was a shock.
00:26:03So the point still stands.
00:26:05You wouldn't be in my film, but you want me to be in yours.
00:26:10It's not really a film.
00:26:12Right.
00:26:12Well, I haven't got anything interesting to say about it.
00:26:16It's sort of a good investment, that's it.
00:26:18That's the point. Years ago, that wouldn't have happened.
00:26:21Yeah, because I never had any money.
00:26:23And because someone in your position wouldn't have wanted to come here.
00:26:27Oh, right, so you want to cast me as the villain now?
00:26:31Look, I'm trying to show all sides of the argument.
00:26:36Think about it.
00:26:38It'd be great to have someone with your profile involved.
00:26:41Right, if I do it, I'm going to want something in return.
00:26:45Like what?
00:26:47Wouldn't you like to know?
00:26:51So you're a filmmaker?
00:26:53Yeah, well, this is more of a visual art project,
00:26:56but I'm really excited about it,
00:26:58and I'm so happy that IO put us in touch.
00:27:01Is that how you met? Do you film?
00:27:03Oh, no, we were introduced by a mutual friend.
00:27:06Oh, cool.
00:27:07Have you been filming for long?
00:27:09A few years now.
00:27:10But this project is really fresh.
00:27:12OK, so in a nutshell, what are you trying to achieve here?
00:27:16Well, IO said you work in the community,
00:27:18holding discussions and protests,
00:27:20and I was hoping to film some of these
00:27:22or interview some people involved.
00:27:24Yeah, I know that, but I think my question is, why?
00:27:28I want to address the changes.
00:27:31And what does that really mean?
00:27:33Look, I don't... I don't get your politics.
00:27:35I'm interested in how the old community gets sort of pushed out and sterilized,
00:27:40and all we've got left are gourmet fried chicken shops
00:27:43and the Bob Marley hats, but no black people.
00:27:46Do you know what I mean?
00:27:47Yeah.
00:27:48Yeah, I get you.
00:27:50But I don't think this is just about race.
00:27:53Well, we're in Brixton.
00:27:55There's no real separating this from race anymore.
00:27:58I mean, take a good look at what's going on.
00:28:00I am.
00:28:03You want to make this piece of art. I get it.
00:28:05You want to make a difference.
00:28:06But I need to protect the people I work with
00:28:09and make sure they're not exploited.
00:28:12I'm not trying to exploit anyone.
00:28:13I'm just trying to help.
00:28:15Help who?
00:28:19Look, my advice, do some research.
00:28:23Well, I mean, this would definitely be part of it, and I am.
00:28:28I'm walking the streets.
00:28:29I'm really observing what's around me,
00:28:31and to meet the people you know would just be the next step.
00:28:34It would be so helpful.
00:28:35OK, but have you done any groundwork?
00:28:37Like, have you looked at sort of, I don't know, case histories
00:28:40or, you know, Brixton in the past, photographs?
00:28:43No, but that's a great idea.
00:28:47I really want to explore that route.
00:28:49And, you know, I'm from Brixton.
00:28:52I'm from the area.
00:28:53I feel very attached to it.
00:28:54So, yeah, I think I can bring a really honest and sensitive portrayal.
00:28:59So is it from your viewpoint, or is it...?
00:29:01Yeah, I want to talk about gentrification.
00:29:04OK, well, it sounds...
00:29:06I don't know, it sounds really interesting.
00:29:07It sounds like an interesting project.
00:29:16Cool.
00:29:18Yeah.
00:29:19Yeah.
00:29:46Yeah.
00:29:47Yeah.
00:30:01Yeah.
00:30:13Yeah.
00:30:14Yeah.
00:30:24Yeah.
00:30:30Yeah.
00:30:35Yeah.
00:30:47Yeah.
00:30:49Yeah.
00:31:01Yeah.
00:31:05Yeah.
00:31:07Yeah.
00:31:11Yeah.
00:31:12Yeah.
00:31:17Yeah.
00:31:18Yeah.
00:31:18Yeah.
00:31:19Yeah.
00:31:20Yeah.
00:31:20More bricks than held in Crown Heights
00:31:22But since the rest has still got the same vibes
00:31:26Oh my, sometimes these South London streets
00:31:29Remind me of Brooklyn
00:31:32Sometimes these South London streets
00:31:35Remind me of Brooklyn
00:31:38Sometimes these South London streets
00:31:41Remind me of Brooklyn
00:31:44Sometimes these South London streets
00:31:47Remind me of Brooklyn
00:31:51Ain't just a sign
00:31:53All the time
00:31:55And the people are home
00:32:03Ain't just the thugs
00:32:05And the drugs
00:32:06And the dealers
00:32:14Ain't just the bucks
00:32:16Put your mind into a fever
00:32:26It's just the way
00:32:28Every day I get that feeling
00:32:35It's just these South London streets
00:32:39Remind me of Brooklyn
00:32:42It's just these South London streets
00:32:45Remind me of Brooklyn
00:32:48Sometimes these South London streets
00:32:50Remind me of Brooklyn
00:32:53Sometimes these South London streets
00:32:56Remind me of Brooklyn
00:33:09Always nice to see Big Ben
00:33:10Have you ever spoken to him?
00:33:12Yeah, I've tried but it's a bit hard
00:33:15He's a bit scatterbrained
00:33:17Do you know anything about him?
00:33:19Well, legend has it that
00:33:20during the riots he took a knock to the head
00:33:22I thought that was a myth
00:33:23No, it's real
00:33:24He's proper old school Brixton
00:33:28You know what?
00:33:29I'm really liking what you're doing here
00:33:30It might even work for the pop-up exhibition
00:33:32that I'm having
00:33:34Seriously?
00:33:35Yeah
00:33:37Nothing concrete yet
00:33:38But this is what we should be talking about, right?
00:33:42Thanks
00:33:44Thanks
00:33:46Thanks
00:33:59Thanks
00:34:00I don't know.
00:34:30Oh
00:35:00Yeah, I'm happy with what we've got.
00:35:02Me too.
00:35:05I'm going to talk to Dion again.
00:35:07Why?
00:35:08Do you think she was too hard on you?
00:35:11No.
00:35:23What?
00:35:25What?
00:35:30Don't look at these shots, you know.
00:35:32It's a beautiful thing.
00:35:49This is a lady that runs a cafe down the road.
00:35:54Oh, really? Which one?
00:35:55Art Nouveau.
00:35:56Okay.
00:35:57Yeah, another place.
00:35:58Yeah, and I was just walking past and I went in and I managed to speak to her and I
00:36:04think
00:36:04she just talks about some really interesting things that you might be interested in.
00:36:08It's all right.
00:36:09Okay.
00:36:14Do I just...
00:36:44Yay.
00:36:45Just keep it as it is and continue to fight so the battle's not over.
00:36:54You have to be down and out and completely kind of like have nothing for the system to
00:37:01help you.
00:37:02And if you try and do and create something and make something out of your life, then they
00:37:08do every single thing to make sure you don't succeed.
00:37:12This is not a coincidence, it's like a plan and even Lambeth called it the master plan.
00:37:19It's a plan to completely change an area.
00:37:24While you're changing the shops and you're getting rid of local people and building luxury flats.
00:37:31My relationship with Brixen will end and since I've moved from Guinness Trust, I'm not able
00:37:38to go back to where I used to live because it has so much memory and it's quite painful.
00:37:54Yeah, so it will be the end.
00:38:01So?
00:38:03Yeah, I mean, it's quite, quite poigny and how did you get her to kind of do this sort
00:38:12of interview?
00:38:13Well, I just went into the cafe, told her a bit about the project and what I'm hoping
00:38:18to do.
00:38:18And yeah, I was really surprised that she was so willing to share with me and I was really
00:38:25happy.
00:38:26Cool.
00:38:27So she just kind of was open and just answered all your questions.
00:38:32Yeah.
00:38:33Yeah.
00:38:33That's really...
00:38:42Nothing too controversial, please.
00:38:45No.
00:38:46I'll make sure you feel comfortable.
00:38:48That laugh sounds ominous.
00:38:52I just want the truth.
00:38:54Right.
00:38:54Cool.
00:38:55Don't we all.
00:38:57Right.
00:38:59You ready?
00:39:00Ready.
00:39:02Any marks?
00:39:04Sit up straight.
00:39:05Will do.
00:39:05Sorry.
00:39:06Sorry, miss.
00:39:06Okay.
00:39:07Name.
00:39:09Mickey Rowland.
00:39:11Occupation.
00:39:12Actor.
00:39:12And you may have recognised me from films such as...
00:39:15Don't laugh.
00:39:16I'm actually going to do it to camera.
00:39:17You may recognise me from films such as The Engines of Fury 5, The Iron Wheel, or more
00:39:22recently, The Engines of Fury 6, The Thunder Road.
00:39:27Nice.
00:39:27I don't even want you to cut that.
00:39:29That's good material.
00:39:32Right.
00:39:32Okay.
00:39:34I'd like to ask you about your relationship with gentrification.
00:39:38Yeah.
00:39:38Sure.
00:39:39Okay.
00:39:39Well, I'm from Bermondsey in South London.
00:39:43I grew up on a state there.
00:39:45Born and bred.
00:39:47Normal working class family.
00:39:49What part of Bermondsey?
00:39:51Spar Road.
00:39:51Do you know it?
00:39:53Right.
00:39:53Well, it's...
00:39:54I went to secondary school just off the old Kent Road, which is near there.
00:39:59I suppose my relationship with gentrification started there, really.
00:40:02I started to notice a few arty types, a bit like you, popping up.
00:40:07And then they were followed by the more affluent people.
00:40:10The Quinoa and Cow Brigade.
00:40:12Definitely cut that.
00:40:14My manager will kill me if he finds out.
00:40:15He loves Quinoa.
00:40:17Okay.
00:40:17Sorry.
00:40:18All right.
00:40:19Just focus.
00:40:22Can you talk about why you bought property in Brixton?
00:40:26Well, I suppose I'll tell you a bit about how it came around to that.
00:40:30Fast forward a few years, and I suppose I'm lucky enough to be in a position with the films
00:40:36and that to be able to look at buying some property.
00:40:40And other friends and people that I knew were kind of talking about Brixton and Elephant
00:40:44and Castle as places to, you know, that were good to invest to buy a flat.
00:40:48What do you think was attracting people to Brixton?
00:40:51Transport links, a vibrant community, all the rest.
00:40:55Had you spent much time in Brixton?
00:40:57Yeah, but, like, years ago.
00:41:01What do you think of the term social cleansing?
00:41:05Well, it's not really a good thing, is it?
00:41:08Well, certain members of the community think that's what's happening here.
00:41:12What do you think about that?
00:41:21Well, I can see why some people may think that, but I don't think that that is the full picture
00:41:28about what's happening around here.
00:41:29And I'm not sure what you're quite trying to get me to say, but I don't think that it's rich
00:41:35people
00:41:35trying to displace poor people.
00:41:37Think about crazy London property prices, for example.
00:41:41That affects everyone.
00:41:43And yet, many poor people can't afford to live in their own communities anymore.
00:41:52Do you visit your old community in Bermondsey?
00:41:56I haven't been there in a while.
00:41:58There's not that much there for me anymore.
00:42:01So Bermondsey, as you knew it, no longer exists?
00:42:05I guess not.
00:42:09Let's talk about race.
00:42:12Hey, cut it.
00:42:13What?
00:42:14Are you joking? Cut it.
00:42:15I thought this was supposed to be a conversation.
00:42:17It is!
00:42:18Yeah, well, it feels a bit more like an interrogation at the moment, actually.
00:42:21What are you going to ask me about next?
00:42:23What my back statements look like?
00:42:24Where I do my grocery shopping? I don't think so. Cut it.
00:42:28And I want to have a look at that edit before you do anything with it.
00:42:32Do you want this date or not?
00:42:37Unbelievable.
00:42:40Yeah, that's a great film.
00:42:42Oh, I don't want to party.
00:42:45It's too early.
00:42:47It's not!
00:42:48Well, cheers.
00:42:50Cheers.
00:43:00So have all your interviews ended in a bust-up?
00:43:07Well, you're my first diva actor, so...
00:43:09Right.
00:43:10Yeah.
00:43:11Diva actor.
00:43:12Yeah.
00:43:14Look, I do appreciate what you're trying to do with the project.
00:43:18You get it, do you?
00:43:19Of course I do.
00:43:20I just don't want to be made to look like an idiot.
00:43:24Like a diva actor.
00:43:25Well, maybe you don't act like one, then.
00:43:28Anyway, I don't want to talk about work.
00:43:30Okay.
00:43:30Well, let's talk about you, then.
00:43:31When did you move here from Shoreditch?
00:43:34I don't want to talk about that, either.
00:43:36Oh, goodness me.
00:43:36What do you want?
00:43:37I want to do something fun.
00:43:38Like what?
00:43:39I don't know.
00:43:43Oh, this is your date, by the way.
00:43:45Oh, is it?
00:43:47Yeah.
00:43:48You sprung that on me.
00:43:49Well...
00:43:50You're good at that, aren't you?
00:43:51Springing things on people.
00:43:53Enjoy it while it lasts.
00:43:54Right.
00:43:56Well, we could go for dinner.
00:43:57We could go dancing.
00:44:00Let's have a dance-off.
00:44:01I haven't had a dance-off since I was about 14.
00:44:04I heard you were a professional dancer.
00:44:06Oh, really?
00:44:07Who told you that?
00:44:09It was on your Spotlight.
00:44:09Because it's true.
00:44:10It was on your Spotlight CV.
00:44:14It's a shame you can't be in the film.
00:44:16Huh?
00:44:17It's a shame you can't be in my film.
00:44:18Who says I'm not?
00:44:20Well, you said...
00:44:21I don't want to talk about work!
00:44:22Oh, God, right.
00:44:22Why do you keep telling me to talk about work?
00:44:24Let's dance.
00:44:25Yes, let's dance.
00:44:26Come on.
00:44:52Whatever.
00:45:21Bye-bye.
00:46:22We need to take the lead now.
00:46:24They've had their event, there's momentum, but we need to do something.
00:46:27I think we need to focus more on people on the front lines.
00:46:30And there are people battling eviction as we speak.
00:46:32We need to make sure we've got the money to pay for their campaign.
00:46:35Yeah, but then we're going to lose momentum and all that's going to happen is that reclaim that they're going
00:46:37to throw another fucking party.
00:46:39It's much more than that.
00:46:41So what?
00:46:41Well, I found reclaim really useful and I met a lot of people that felt the same.
00:46:46So, who are you again?
00:46:47I'm making a project about the changes in the area.
00:46:50What kind of project?
00:46:51It's a mixture of things.
00:46:52So what's the angle?
00:46:53I haven't decided that yet.
00:46:54That's why she's here, to get a full range of opinions.
00:46:57Reclaim Brixton was anti-black and anti-working class.
00:47:02Seriously?
00:47:02Look, I had my friends messaging me, telling me who are all these middle-class white folk protesting against gentrification.
00:47:09Am I the only one that can see the irony here?
00:47:11Some of the organisers are black.
00:47:13So what, black people can't be anti-black?
00:47:16Reclaim was a joke.
00:47:17It wasn't a joke.
00:47:18There are all kinds of people there.
00:47:20Isn't that voice about bringing people together?
00:47:22No.
00:47:23No, it's not.
00:47:24It's about stopping the social cleansing of working class people.
00:47:28So we're not overrun by these bougie elites.
00:47:31No, this is a serious point for your project.
00:47:34It's working class people, especially working class black people who are suffering the most here.
00:47:40And if you're down with that, then you can never understand the full scale of the problem.
00:47:46So what's this project?
00:47:48I don't know yet.
00:47:49I'm still researching.
00:47:51Is it some kind of film?
00:47:51Oh, man, chill.
00:47:52No, I just want to know, innit?
00:47:53Is it some kind of media, right?
00:47:54Yeah, something like that.
00:47:55Something like that.
00:47:56Let me tell you something.
00:47:57I think them kind of projects, they don't mean shit.
00:48:02Yeah, not to real people.
00:48:29Oh.
00:48:56What? Why did you keep banging?
00:48:58Well where were you?
00:49:02Sorry, sorry. How was your performance?
00:49:07It was fine. Not much going on. What are you feeling today?
00:49:14No, I think I'm going to take a break.
00:49:17What do you mean?
00:49:20I don't feel like doing it anymore.
00:49:23Why?
00:49:30I saw the pills.
00:49:35What pills?
00:49:37I've been in your bathroom. I know what you're going through.
00:49:47I've been there myself.
00:50:01Nina, if you ever want to talk, you know I'm here for you.
00:50:27Well, yes.
00:50:29There's no one, but, there's no one.
00:50:30There's no one.
00:50:30What's your problem?
00:50:31What's your problem?
00:50:32What's your problem?
00:50:59I just need a break from it.
00:51:01Nina, what does that even mean?
00:51:03I'm tired of it and I need a break.
00:51:04And I have to find out through AO that you need to take a break.
00:51:07Do I have to notify you?
00:51:08Yeah, I'd appreciate it when we've been working on it for so long.
00:51:11You haven't been at the meetings with people like fucking Ahmed telling you,
00:51:14your work's shit, it doesn't mean anything.
00:51:16I'm tired, so I'm taking a break.
00:51:18Nina, you're gonna get people who are gonna throw this shit at you.
00:51:20I mean, are you gonna just give up at the first hurdle?
00:51:22Me? Give up?
00:51:24That is fucking rich coming from you, Aisha.
00:51:27What do you mean by that?
00:51:28How long since we last spoke?
00:51:30Before I told you I was coming here, how long has it been?
00:51:33Yeah.
00:51:33Fucking months ago, Aisha.
00:51:35Months ago.
00:51:36And why do you think I was?
00:51:37Was it me who was running around town with a bunch of fucking yuppies?
00:51:40Don't fucking blame it on me, oh, I was hanging out with whoever.
00:51:42No, Aisha.
00:51:43You were not here for me.
00:51:44Your suicidal friend got too fucking much for you.
00:51:48Yeah?
00:51:48So just say it.
00:51:49Fuck you, Nina.
00:51:51Fuck you, Nina.
00:52:21You'd get fucked up.
00:52:24No.
00:52:26Not really.
00:52:33This is meant to be Princeton.
00:52:34This is meant to be where I'm from.
00:52:35Where are all these people coming from?
00:52:37Can't I even walk the streets that look like I'm a stranger?
00:52:40How am I the stranger?
00:52:41Yeah, I'm allowed where I want.
00:52:42Listen, how many times do you have to go through this?
00:52:44How many times?
00:52:45Please.
00:52:46Listen, man.
00:52:47You must be...
00:52:48Calm down.
00:52:49Calm down.
00:52:50Can we just take a move?
00:52:51Why are you touching me, man?
00:52:51I don't want to touch you.
00:52:52Just step back, please.
00:52:53You cannot come through.
00:52:55Listen, man.
00:52:55You can't come through.
00:52:56It's always you.
00:52:57It's always the ones like you, isn't it?
00:52:59I'm not going to tell you again.
00:53:09All right, all right, all right.
00:53:13Stop!
00:53:16You're hurting him!
00:53:17My arm, man!
00:53:18What are you doing?
00:53:19My fucking arm!
00:53:20Ah!
00:53:21My arm!
00:53:22Let go!
00:53:23Why am I fucking arm, man?
00:53:27Don't fidget.
00:53:29Just hold still.
00:53:49I'll have that, please.
00:53:53Come have a yellow one.
00:53:56Thanks.
00:53:57Okay.
00:54:00Three, two, one!
00:54:02What?
00:54:17Probably!
00:54:17And if you're looking to get stock to get for one target.
00:54:18You can sit in.
00:54:18Amen.
00:54:18How long are you?
00:54:18Oh, oh, oh, oh?
00:54:27What's–
00:54:35I want to create a space where people worldwide can post their stories and
00:54:41videos like a network or something I think they could even discuss tactics
00:54:45see how to combat it in their area okay but what does that do well it would
00:54:49bring people from not just London but New York Berlin worldwide together on
00:54:54this hi Nina hi Nina gentrification and Bed-Stuy Brooklyn looks like skyrocketing
00:55:00rent rates first of all rents in Harlem have gone up literally 200% Berlin is
00:55:07known to be hip cheap and multicultural perfect recipe for gentrification it
00:55:13starts off with young broke artists like myself moving to the city of course this
00:55:18somewhat individual decision comes with a price for the local community right with
00:55:23the increase of upper-middle-class white people particularly younger white folks
00:55:28who consider themselves artists comes a great deal of infrastructure we would say
00:55:32so you have your shops your boutiques your coffee places your restaurants cultures
00:55:36that have taken over the world have been invented here literally you know hip-hop
00:55:41in part was born here the black arts movement in part was born here jazz but
00:55:46what's interesting is is that not everyone gets to take part in all of this
00:55:50quote-unquote progress and some people get left behind if neighborhoods are not
00:55:54multi-class and do not have class and racial diversity they urban culture will
00:56:00cease to flourish and it literally will all become a kind of Manhattan mini mall so
00:56:06gentrification looks a lot like uncertainty to us here in Bed-Stuy once the
00:56:10public housing goes at that point I don't know what to say what do you think yeah so we've got
00:56:20this
00:56:21group coming down next week Monday potentially interested in hiring at the venue that's gonna
00:56:25be next week Monday at around 6 p.m. they're gonna confirm that with me but it'd be really cool
00:56:30D if you could be down here as well oh no definitely yeah I'll be there and does anyone else
00:56:34want to come just extra support so can we move on to the fundraiser
00:56:40for the people of Crestington's legal supports and we've got Nina here and she's offered to use some
00:56:45of her contacts in art and media to kind of push things along yeah that would be really cool yeah
00:56:50I'm happy to organize something if you all agree yeah well I still feel like the money should come from
00:56:55us really I mean I don't like relying on the media for anything yeah I agree with you but it
00:57:00doesn't mean
00:57:00we can't use them yeah well it kind of sends out the wrong message you know they're a big part
00:57:05of the
00:57:05problem here yeah but so am I right I'm part of the problem me and the bougie elites yeah
00:57:13but I'm here and you can use me so on to the next event Tuma born free born free last

01:02:58Yeah, that's right.
01:02:59Don't listen to me.
01:03:01I don't exist.
01:03:02It's just like...
01:03:03Who is he?
01:03:03What is he?
01:03:04I ain't got a chance.
01:03:06I just had to carry on.
01:03:08I had to fight through it.
01:03:09Ten of them.
01:03:10Twelve.
01:03:10All I can see is blood.
01:03:11It's not their blood.
01:03:12It's my blood.
01:03:13I remember them laughing, laughing in my face, spitting on me.
01:03:16Fuck me, fuck you.
01:03:17This is my life.
01:03:19This is how I had to live.
01:03:20This is what I had to fucking go through.
01:03:22That's what living is like.
01:03:24That's what my life's like.
01:03:25That's what I had to go through.
01:03:27I'm not a human being.
01:03:30You know, I'm not a human being.
01:03:58You know, it's like I really like…
01:05:19I'm just getting worried. I haven't seen him for days.
01:05:22I mean, he's probably just doing his thing. I'm sure he'll turn up.
01:05:26I'm just getting worried.
01:05:55I'm just getting worried.
01:06:55I'm just getting worried.
01:07:46What do you want to do?
01:07:50I'm just getting worried.
01:08:18No.
01:08:20No, tell him thanks, but this isn't my home.
01:09:14I'm just getting worried.
01:09:43I'm just getting worried.
01:10:14I can see that.
01:10:30I'm just getting worried.
01:10:41I'm just getting worried.
01:11:13I'm just getting worried.
01:11:23I'm just getting worried.
