As a child in the 1970s, Broadwater Farm looked, to me, like a strange, isolated castle when viewed from Lordship Recreation Ground. However, this collection of ingeniously dovetailed stories widens the focus to show it as a vital part of a community with heart
Often ignored, often demonised, rarely understood by the mainstream, it's a community which, for the most part, lives the other side of the glossy adverts. These are stories of broken people, breaking people, people wondering what happened to their youthful dreams, and people forging new dreams. People who have to face that moment, as we all do, when they take a long, hard look into their own eyes and see what they have become and, perhaps, choose to become somebody else. Above all, these stories refuse to reduce the community to a monochrome, zooming in instead on the intricate human detail of an unfairly maligned area.
