A new trailer has arrived for upcoming independent film The Street, which will arrive on screens at the end of the month through Verve Pictures. The film is filmmaker Zed Nelson’s debut feature-length documentary is a film about love and loss, charting a community unraveled by gentrification, austerity and the nation’s slide into Brexit.
As the glinting steel and mirror-glass skyscrapers of London’s financial hub edge ever closer, the area surrounding Hoxton Street has been transformed by ‘luxury’ redevelopments and sky-high property prices. This traditional East London street, less than a mile from the City of London, has become the last bastion of the areas disadvantaged – a concentration of the aged, poor and dispossessed. Following its inhabitants over a four-year period, Zed Nelson’s debut feature-length documentary charts the toxic collision of gentrification, austerity and the nation’s slide into Brexit.
The Street will land in cinemas on 29th November. Take a look at the trailer below. This looks really interesting.
