Fly a Flag for Poplar

Poplar's long tradition of political and social activism is on show in this community film. The East London district has been home to both grassroots and high-profile radicals, from social reformer George Lansbury in the 1920s to the contemporary Teviot Festival Committee. This film was made by Liberation Films, a non-profit company which grew from a group of anti-Vietnam War activists.
