Description: Set to the instrumental acoustic song, “Jessica” by The Allman Brothers Band, this evocative montage captures life around the Prince of Wales Crescent squatting community.The film opens with scenes outside the squat, panning across the street as cars pass and residents go about their day. A nearby neighbourhood advice centre and graffiti reads “Dance with glee” hinting at the community’s energy and resistance.

John Hopkins narrates over the music and introduces “The People’s Park,” a green space created by squatters on land next to Jo’s Junkyard. We follow Jo walking down the road, the music continuing under shots of buildings and painted facades.

A local pub and community-run supply shop offering healthy food are shown, underscoring the area's grassroots resilience. Posters and graffiti reading “Save the Crescent” and “London belongs to us” appear in shop windows and on walls, promoting a public meeting. Flyers and maps detailing plans for the Crescent are zoomed in on, as a bearded man, John Hopkins, smiles warmly while re-attaching torn-down notices.

The camera pans down Prince of Wales Crescent, past Johnny’s Café and Albany Fashions, and onto Harmood Street, where Mr. Gonzalez’s shop is highlighted as a vital part of the neighbourhood with healthy cheap food. People study plans in windows, and patrons wave from cafés as the lens drifts toward Castle Road.

At House 91, the narrator contextualises the house as being occupied by an architect and squatter and a co-op of people who offer DIY services. A car is seen being towed away—as the narrator comments upon petrol shortage. Shots of broken windows and neglected homes emphasize the narrator’s point: "These houses have fallen into disrepair, and the council refuses to acknowledge the squatting."

The focus shifts to Dr. Pollard’s house and a local co-operative before the music fades to cut to Sue Hall, a white woman in a coat and wooly hat, standing by a lamppost with a pinned notice. She addresses the camera with a solemn announcement: the Crescent will be closed. The screen lingers on the notice as the film ends.
