Description

The visionary punk-rock director who’s profiled everyone from David Bowie to The Clash, Julien Temple turns his lens on his hometown in this epic time-traveling voyage to the multicultural heart of London. From musicians, writers and artists to dangerous thinkers, political radicals and, above all, ordinary people, this is the story of immigrants and bohemians—and how together they changed London over the last 100 years. Combining rare archives and interviews with an electrifying soundtrack of pop music from across decades, Temple creates “a remarkable, heartwarming and… hopeful film about a vibrant city forever renewing itself” (The Guardian).

The film will be available for 48 hours from when you start the stream. Please note streaming is only possible from inside Canada. Need assistance? Visit our FAQ page or email us at streamingsupport@hotdocs.ca.
