Narrated by Isy Suttie, the footage includes rare scenes of Petticoat Lane in Edwardian times; a wedding in London’s East End in 1925; the defeat of the British Union of Fascists at Cable Street; Britain’s earliest surfing film and many more surprising and tender moments in history captured on screen. Francesca Ter-Berg (Fran &Flora) provides the commissioned sound score. The film is written and edited by Jon Spira, the producers are Alex Davidson and Jon Spira, the executive producers are Mekella Bromberg and Portland Green and consultant curators are Nir Cohen and Julia Wagner.
