LIC’s young film makers took part in a workshop session covering a number of issues facing people living in Poplar at the Cafe Reconnect on St Paul’s Way.
The group also watched a photo essay by Magnum photographer Simon Wheatley - http://inmotion.magnumphotos.com/essay/innercity which covers a number of interesting themes of inner city life such as the grime scene, drugs, crime, teenage pregnancy, poor housing, life in a housing estate, guns, etc.
They also analysed the film they watched on Aftab Ali at the Museum of London and discussed the different aspects of making a film. The young film maker with the help of Abdul Miah and Momtaz Begum looked at the different poverty indicators in Britain and indentified a few in Poplar such as poor housing, low pay, high crime rate, lack of social cohesion and the poor standard of education. Some of these issues could possibly be highlighted in our potential film when comparing with Canary Wharf.
