Joe Armon-Jones – Wrong Side Of Town

Description

Directing duo Broken Antenna reunite with Hak Baker for his collaboration with Ezra Collective member Joe Armon-Jones’s new project to create not just a terrific promo but a hugely powerful short doc about gentrification in London’s East End.

As Armon-Jones and Baker’s song Wrong Side Of Town is about being priced out of a traditionally working class quarter of London, the video sees Baker cycling through the area he grew up in, observing the effects of gentrification, but also the surviving parts of a working-class community that continue to define the city.
